size 10.5 boots should fit on a regular width gnu board just fine. Zumiez at the mall has some carbon credits on sale now. can get a decent package deal. Where are you in NJ? I'm down in Glassboro.

lib tech skate banana a good board or too much board for me?

it depends on what you want to do with it. You can take an all mountain board into a park, however the park boards arent so good for all mountain. The carbon credit would be a better all mountain board, the skate banana is a more park oriented board, it will get you down the hill, but not as good as the CC. I wouldnt be concerned with something being "too much board for you" uless you were trying to ride a board the wrong size, ora powder board on ice.
