    Ryan is the man. That being said i rented a snowboard in 1986 in breckenridge. It was a burton. Nobody was snowboarding at the resort that day and i killed myself wrecking. That being said i went back to 2 planks. Never knew it would take off like it did.

    A couple years ago, I researched boards for a month, before I bought mine. I was not only looking at waist width, but also nose, tail, and radius, and then calculating what the width at the bindings would be... Got the widest board that I could find, but still can't quite lay it all the way over, without dragging toe. 😒 I remember watching one of Ryan's videos about him getting custom made boards, but I couldn't afford that.. 😭😭 Size 13 feet!

  • @stefanmargraf7878
    @stefanmargraf7878 5 років тому

    They forget to mention: the board has to be strong against twisting. A 200 pound border got easily 600pound pressure on the edges. A salami board will not stand the pressure, it will twist and you are down. Strongest boards in that way are swoard (Switzerland).

  • @Matthew-re9pb
    @Matthew-re9pb 5 років тому +1

    The cut off for 11 / 11.5 is a 25.8 waist width.. you can get away with no toe or heel drag...id say 12 or higher benefits from wides.
    However, i notice my union force bindings are super tiny whereas my Ultras take up more space...so the size of your boots aswell as your bindings matter when minimizing toe/heel overhang

    Worked great on about 6"-8" of average snow starts to struggle a bit past 8". ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxoHYZbq5g9fkcAtinlTqstNlje-UQkCHN Very light weight and the chute spin control works well. For the low price you get a ton of value. My only complaint is managing the cord as it does take a fair bit of effort to watch and pull the cord out of the way. I found myself having to whip the cord out of the way a lot when I needed to make one way passes to mange the blow direction. It's less of an issue when you can work both directions. A battery powered version would be a lot easier to handle but that is also double the price and requires battery care. I chose the corded version so I didn't have to worry about batteries but I do now see how much work the cord is. I let my neighbor borrow it and it outperformed his smaller gas blower, he was totally sold. Very pleased with the power and operations.My only suggestion is to spend a bit more on a cordless version if you have budget for it. The cord is a bit more of a headache than I thought it would be. Very pleased with the Snow Joe brand and quality.

    Wide boards come with a cost. I rode a 28.5-waist rig last year, and it was REALLY rough to take that thing edge-to-edge. Frustrating to ride, unless I was carving on mild groomers. I’m 6’3”, 270 lbs, 12 boot. IMO, if you’re gonna ride all mountain and slay everything , keep it under 27 cm waist. Unless you’re a giant with a 15 boot or something

      What board did you get that wide? I got 11.5 boot and my current board is 258mm, and thats definitely too narrow because i drag a lot of times. The only board i saw that was 27-ish (which would be kinda on the spot, but maybe still too little) was a Salomon one.

      @@strait6 Nitro Team, which is a really great board for carving, in my opinon. 272 mm waist width is the biggest one (165 wide). I have the 157 wide, though.
