Ride Fleetwood 161 vs. Ride Decade 162 Wide?
Hello,
Anyone with experience or comparison information between those 2 boards (model 2005)? Basically I want to replace my GNU Danny Kass 158. My main problem with it is heel and toe drag with boots size 11, thus the wide board choice. Here is my riding profile: - 25% groomed slopes - 30% bumps - 30% powder/trees - 15% park - starting to feel comfortable in fakie and 180 and small jumps Thanks! Bruno |

I am riding 15 deg front and -15 back and feel pretty good about it!
May be my riding style is drag prone... however, I have Vans Fargo Boa boots and they are REALLY bulky, even for size 11, something I didn't pay attention to when buying them. The GNU does feels too small in powder as well ( I am ~170lbs) Does it help? |

I"m size 11 in all 3 of my boots, and ride a waist width of 25.8
mostly, like the Tempest. Hate the superwides, as edge to edge is just too slow, and steeps too hard on the legs. For pow, 26.2 of my RocketReeve 169 floats just fine, but the nose maybe a little too abrupt for glide thru the flats. Also have a 25.2 waist width board, but it does drag the binding and boot toes in the pipe, just barely. I run about 17/3 stances. |

Oh, length of boot matters, bulky only means it's got lots of
padding, and might be warm. |
