Anyone snowboard around here? If so anybody have a wide board?
I'm looking to get a new one this season. I currently have a K2 trucker (162 size). I'm one a few who really like the burton's but am not sold on one model. The designs are kind of week this year as well.

    wide board is for big foot/big boot people. I have a size 14 so i have no choice but ride a wide board.

    I have an Option Supercap.......I believe they make it in a wide and its a really quality board, very flexible and very durable.

    I've got a Ride Fleetwood from the turn of the century and it's been a good board to me. I've ridden both wide and standard boards, but feel I get so much more control from a Wide. Plus I've got size 12 feet and like to keep them rather pependicular to my board.

    Get one of these. Don't ask any questions. Just ride and enjoy :)
