l have size 13 feet and l used a 155 Ride board l borrowed from a friend last season. l wanna buy my own board now, but everyone says l need a wide board. Using a regular board last year did not seem to affect my ability to turn or do anything really, but everyone l talk to says l need a wide board. What do you think? Will a wider board affect my ability to do spins and such in the freestyle park?

a wider board will not affect your rotation. The reason you should get a wide board is so that your toes do not hit when doing sharp turns. l have a size 10 boot and with a regular board there are times when l have hit my toes doing turns, essentially tripping me and sending me spinning on my stomach down the mountain. Most companies now a days sell a wider board so it should not be too hard to find one that works for you.

Yeah the other guy was right
the only reason you would need a wider board is so that your toes dont drag.
Burton makes several wide boards to slove thath very problem.

Hope l was help

A board is waist width should be one of the first things u should look into when buying a board. If u get a board too thin for ur boot size it will create toedrag & u wo not be able to use the edges well. Your boots should stick out a tad, ideally.

Get a board with a waist width of around 26 ( l think), no less than 25.7 though. Getting a wide board sacrifices edge to edge transition speeds but it will help u stomp ur landings better.

Or u can get boots with a small footprint like DC Park or Salomon F22 that can cut down ur boot size by 1 or more.

There is plenty of wide boards though, like.
Atomic Alibi Wide
Atomic Triarc
Ride Dose
Rome Flag
.. Never summer & other companies make nice wide boards too. You get the idea get searching. =]

A wider board will be much much better.It will not affect ur ability whatsoever.A wider board is better because when u down sharp turns toes inside the boots wont hit the snow.and if u do that u will likely fall or flipover.. l wider board is also good for stoping too.
