Can I get my big ass feet on a normal width snowboard?
I have been on the brink of investing my money in the Lib Tech Skunk Ape BTX for the last couple of weeks. But I have just recently read that it is quite stiff so have been a little put off. I was going to instead try to buy the Skate Banana BTX.
The reason I was going to buy the Skunk Ape is because I have size 12(UK) boots and that board is a wide board. But I only weigh 143lbs (10stone 3lbs) so I don't think that I would be able to make it flex the way a bigger guy could. So I am now more inclined to buy the Skate Banana because it would be more suited to someone with my size frame, except it doesn't come in wide.
I read that someone with size 11.5(UK) boots gets his feet on his normal width board by standing -15/ +15. Would I be able to do this with slightly bigger feet? I've only ever rode wide boards and I normally stand -16/ +0 so it would put my feet in unusual position. Or would I get used to it quickly?
Riding -16 +0 would be painful...
You realise thats having your front foot turned so its facing up the hill and your back foot straight?
I think you mean +16 and 0. And if you stand normally, is your back foot straight. Have a look after you talk to someone while standing up and your back foot won't be straight, I guarentee it. Most people will ride with +15 to +18 on the front foot and -9 to -15 on the back foot. Anything more or less is going to be painful and hard to ride with.
In reference to your foot size, I have had a size 11.5 shoe on a 150 board and didn't have problems... raisers are a good idea but test it first and you might be able to get away with it. Put your bindings on a board and see if there is more then an inch overhang then its prolly too much.
