Ouch, need a wider board -JPMM

I recently had a painful toe drag experience which ended up in a
separated shoulder. My current board is 25cm at the waist and I have
a size 12 boot. My binding are set at 25/10 angle. I've seen
favorable reviews for the Burton Canyon. Can you recommend other wide
boards that will carve well and eliminate toe drag. I'm not into the
park/tricks and I'm 6'0" 190lbs.

Also any tips on finding a used board w/b appreciated.

Thanks

Prior makes the MFR in wide and extra wide. Right now there's a
demo/used 168 extra wide on their site for $CDN380. It has a 27 cm
waist and is recommended for size 12+

Sorry to hear about your separated shoulder! Take good care of it. I
would adree you need a wider board with those size feet.

Burton recently "recycled" the designation "Canyon" recently. The old
Canyon was a higher end board, essentially a wider version of the Custom.
The new Canyon is a middle tier board, essentially a wide Indie if I'm not
mistaken.

If you want something that carves well I recommend the Donek Wide or
Sasquatch or some of the wider, higher-end Salomon freeride boards (Used to
be W4 and W5, not sure of model names now).

Okay. I have a used K2 Fatbob 158, but that's shorter than you want.
