Should I go <Wider> ?? - Snowboarding Forum

11-09-2008, 09:10 PM

Hey guys,
I ordered a new board this season and researched everything about the board but in my excitement forgot to make sure this board is wide enough for me. I went with a 156 Rome Agent and my my last board was a 5150 Crux Wide. I have a 10.5 sized boot and I have Rome Targas L/XL as bindings.
I was wondering if anyone who owns the board or is pretty familiar with it could tell me whether or not my toes and heel are going to be hanging out to much...it would help if I sorta knew that ahead of time so that if it is going to be an issue, I could look to sell it before it even gets here.

With a size 10.5 foot you should be fine with a regular board. I've got a size 10.5 and have never used a wide. I would think that unless you're in the 12+ range you don't really want a wide it's just more board to move.

oh alright I was worried cuz the person who sold me my Crux made it seem pretty necissary for a wide board, guy was prolly jus trying to screw me for comission...thanks tho
