This vid just saved me a headache at the hill tomorrow lol My regular boots crapped out the other day so I pulled out an old pair from like 10 years ago, only a half size larger but man the footprint is hefty. I was fully prepared to ride and slide with an extra inch of overhang, the demo you did made it click that I could just simply slide my bindings back to at least have balanced overhang
Two things. Testing on a hard surface only gives a general idea, since in snow your edge will be digging in. Also, certain brands have more compact, smaller footprint boots. Burton are among the best for small footprint boots. One other factor to consider is not only waist width, but also nose and tail width will affect the width at the inserts.
This is so straight to the point and extremely helpful thank you man. I'm currently rockin a 10" middle width board and size 13 boots. i've recently had issues on the slopes. This vid is very good. Subscribe!
i quit because i couldn't find a wide enough board, i also have 13.5s... you go to carve and your boots drag the ground and throw you... the industry has been clueless about this for 20 years.. i quit around 2005.. tried every wide board that existed at the time.. last one i used was a k2
@@makecodgreatagain6049 my shoe size is 342mm idiot thanks for reccomending 280mm .. a size 11 shoe... i appreciate you telling me to stfu.... congrats on playing the fool
Thanks man.. your videos helped me decide on a 25cm waist 152cm long board being 5'8 abt 200lbs wearing a size 10 boot.. I've done alot of research besides yr channel but yrs was what helped me feel confident to buying when it came to length and width..
Well thank you very much. When I started researching for myself I couldn't find anything about riding a shorter snowboard being taller or weighing more. They all said stick to the charts. I'm glad I was able to help
This only works if you ride on flat ground. The angle of the slope is going to change that measurement, even if you're not riding perpendicular to the fall line.
I wear size 12 boots and my board is 257 waist width which is fairly wide and I still boot out a lot. I like to carve deep and ride steep slopes. I'm looking at getting the new Never Summer proto synthesis 'DF' variant (drag free) which is a 280 waist. Never summer makes a few 'DF' boards this year.
In my view, and of everyone I've ever spoken to, the boots should be placed with equal toe and heel overhang. If you are wanting to have more overhang on one side due to booting out then get a wider board - don't take your boots out of the central position.
Let's comment on a 5 year old video. Lol Is the rider aiming to learn to carve? Learn on an industry standard width board and if you have ridiculously large feet consider risers or custom. Factor in binding and boot profile to help decrease drag. Is the rider aiming to carve with higher edge angles, once they can actually carve? Get a full camber board and then take measurements to determine the width that would prevent boot out. By this stage in your progression you should probably be able to determine that for yourself but ask people who make custom boards for guidance. Does industry standard cater to high edge angle carves? No, but most riders don't require it until later in their progression, so I can see why so many boards are average width. Never let any random person tell you what width because they may not understand your experience and riding goals. I'm 5'3" weighing 115 on a 149cm with a 27cm waist. I like it for carving groomers but I also excelled on an industry standard never summer board, with a tiny 23.7cm waist. I carved with boot out. Thought my edges left super wide pencil lines because my toes dragged. My goals changed and I wanted something different in my carving so I went wide with a 2ish cm increase then later 3.7 increase. Well it's perfect but the speed I have, now that my toes are out of the snow, is ridiculous. I was used to carving with drag and ripped. My wide set up is perfect on specific terrain, but factor in crowds and choppy snow on my dream setup and it still presents challenges. The biggest challenge is I take up an unusual amount of space, which makes it hard for other skiiers and riders to anticipate my turns.
Damn, I'm your same height and boot size and I just bought a GNU Beast 161 which now I realise it might be a tad narrow for me. What sucks is that I have to wait two months until it starts snowing to test it haha.... Anyway, thanks for the video!
Size 11 booter here and new rider. Thinking of going with a 155 regular [250mm] over a 156 wide [260mm]. I just don't see why a beginner would want a wide board. If you move the discs closer or further from your heels, then you can increase or minimize heel drag. In my case moving the discs 1 notch closer to the heel side of the boot would give me the best clearance for toe and heel on my 250mm board.
Thanks for clearing this up for me, I am the exact height and weight with a 13 boot. So this was perfect haha, I’ve been looking at 165w boards lol guess that’s a bit much
That is very interesting, I have size 12 boot and been riding 2 wide boards (My current one is a GNU Skunkape 161W), yet keep booting out during carves/sharp turns and been a bit jelly on people with smaller feet, but your bindings/boots have more of a clearance of the snow because of the bootkick that you call it. My GNU Speed-ins and Deeluxe boa focus boots have more overhang and more flat structure which surely invites for catching. Maybe I need to get other boots & bindings to solve my big feet issue.. Too bad it aint cheap
I got a size 12 boot and a 165w with a 267 waist and still my boots hang! I hope it will be OK this year. Might have to get a smaller size and different brand with smaller footprint
If you press the camber down how it would be in a turn, you’ll see that you will boot out sooner. I ride the signal park series 156 and have an 11.5 boot. No issues but I think signals are mid wide. Bindings matter too. Also, a wide board is usually only .5cm wider. Best thing to do with big feet is ride duck stance. Good video bro, can’t wait for snow
Yo. About to get me a 158cm with 25waist. 185 5/10 and 12 boot. What style of boots/bindings you using? Had a rental pair and those things were huge. Definitely trying to find a thinner boot/bindings.
Hi! I'm looking for a snowboard to buy and I'm finding very difficult to find more than 26cm waist width, and my boots measure 31cm. Would that be a problem? Thanks.
Big greetings🎊 Could anybody help me🙏🏻 I'm 183cm, 74kg and 43,5 boot size. So I'm thinking between Burton Process 157 and 159, also do I need wide board at all? I'm not crazy about speed honestly, so I'll rather take 157 easy to handle
Hi, I was looking forward to buy a burton cartographer. I am 1,85cm , 76 kg and wear nitro boots (11,5 us-44,5 european).Would you suggest 159 narrow (258mm waist width) or 159 wide (266 waist width)? Keep in mind that this specific normal model is wider than e.g. burton custom or process! Thanks in advance
154w🧐 that’s a skateboard! Naw jk that is pretty small though! I ride smaller then I should aswell but I’m only 6’0 on a 159w thinking of grabbing a 163-164w.
thanks for posting my guy. my question is if i normally wear 12s should I buy 11.5 that would likely fit quite snuge(hopefully not to tight) because i want to eliminate toe drag on my regular board. Also if i have size 12 boots already and I am looking to buy a new board would you recommend wide or midwide. I find that there is a limited supply of wide snowboards compared to regular or midwide
Your welcome. I'm not an expert so take my advise as more a review. I wouldn't get a smaller boot because if your feet get hot they may swell and expand causing pain. I would go with the 12. I wear 12 shoe and a 13 burton boot. I also spent a ton on my burton step on bindings so I wanted to make sure they fit right. So I would focus on the board. The wide boards vary a ton so you need to actually measure where your feet will be on the board. If you use a 24 inch stance you can get away with a less wide board since your feet are closer to the ends of the board. I have other videos were I measured the spots of my bindings. Check them out and let me know if this helps.
No such thing as too wide when it comes to carving. If you have big feet, then you’re big enough to be able to throw around a bigger board. If you’re just jibbing and side slipping then whatevas will be fine.
yeah i have 13s and im constantly catching on turns and being whip lash thrown from 20 mph to full stop smash... i quit boarding, the industry doesn't cater to large feet, and doesn't care. i find most ski pros etc have no idea this is even an issue. they think you just get a wide board and the problem is fixed...
@@clickmcclick2675 So true. The widest waist width production board I’ve found is the Skunk Ape Ultra Wide at 28.5cm. Needing anything wider will require custom built boards.
Hey man I got large Union bindings with a 156 board and the bindings themselves overhang over the board a bit. You think I will be fine or should I get the mediums?
I hate when someone gives me this answer, but “It depends”. I just bought my son size 11 burton boots and he has to use a large binding with the Step on. If your boot requires a certain size binding for that boot, you have to keep that size binding. Now when it comes to overhang, that will depend on if it is the toe edge or heal edge. As you see here it was my heal edge. I was also riding a 151cm with a size 13 and I don’t have an issues with my 154cm Gilson. It’s also depends on riding style because there is a TH-camr that is awesome craver and he actually has small feet and he has more wide board so he can do euro craving style. I did do another video where I just put my board on table to see the tilt before hitting. Hopefully this helped.
At that time I was riding burton freestyle size large binding and I can't recall the Burton boot. I have now switched to the Burton Step On and I am much happier with them. You can see my review on them that I put up.
The Gilson Duel Wide was to wide for my 13. I did a video on it. I returned it because I didn't need it that wide. That is the widest board I have riden.
@@AlexApol the duel wide has the soft edge which takes some getting used to. I feel for you because there real are not that many options besides duck footing your bindings to a point it would be hard to ride. I bet you would be a good surfer.
can someone tells me if i can ride a non-wide board without all the fancy measurements like whats the biggest and smallest i can go with out the board being wide with a size 11 shoe and boot
I would love to be able to but since each board manufacture makes their boards different widths, it all depends. The easiest way is to find the snowboard you like and go to a snowboard shop with people that actually ride tell you what they would do. I had to buy several boards to figure it out since the type I liked weren’t sold in stores. Most online board purchases can be returned but make sure it is in the fine print.
It has been a while since I made this video but I was able to carve and do tricks on this 151. It would only catch where that binding was and I could have shaved it done but then I bought my 154 Gilson and that is wider and the 3d base is crazy. I want to say that 251 or 249mm is getting pretty narrow for size 13. 255 waist width I think I'm at now with the step ons and have no problem.
Lol... Because snow is hard as that table, and there's no way the board cuts into the snow... It's not like you leave any cuts, groove, tracks, or trenches behind....
I think you should be fine because my arbor draft was 24.9 and only had a little bit of drag on the binding side. I would go into a local shop and have them mount one up for you and do the test as I did here. If you don't have a shop and are ordering them online, check the return policy first, then have them ship, bolt them and test at home on carpet then send them back if you can't move the board at the angle you will be carving or turning at.
yo. too small. I have a 10.5 and its too small at 25.2. If one doesn't carve at all, then maybe its ok. But once you start to actually carve harder, you will boot out
If you can afford a wider board and they make one that fits your feet, I recommend that. Any hangover can cause drag or worse toe out or boot out and if you’re on ice pack you will go down hard. If you’re just learning and don’t have the money for a wide board, you will have to test it and see but be cautious.
@@backyardsnowboarder4729 when I got that right I had 50-65degree. Is that enough ( i don’t want to carve like euro carve) I’m more into park and free ride
Lame. You are completely missing the camber press which you will lose at least 15 degrees or even more. On top, you have these impossible bindings to get which looks like they have built in raisers. Good for you but this defeats your argument even more.
