Scott Aurora Board and big feet

Hi guys,
i bought a Scott Aurora Board some time ago, was on snow with it for
about 3 times.
For the upcoming season I'll need to buy bigger boots.. The Problem is
that I already had big boots last time (EU: 46, US: 11,5, UK: 11).
The Boots are now hard to the limit.. i think I can't were them this
season. I need the next bigger one.
The old boots looked very far out of the board, now the bigger ones will
look very very far out
Do I have to buy a new board for those big boots??
Last winter i had very hard Problems with pain in my feet after boarding
a day.. do you think this could come from the boots standing out so
far of the board? Or which reason can this have?

thanks alot
Julian

Make sure that the boot is centred on the board so that both your toes
and heel hang out equally the same.

No it is not necessary, especially if you want to keep your current
board. You can buy some risers. These are a plate that go under your
bindings and lift you away from the surface of the board. However, it's
not a perfect solution, and may affect how the board handles.

If you can afford it, you ideally want a wider board.

No I don't think so. I used to ride a Burton Custom and had a number of
problems because the board wasn't wide enough. However, I did not have
pain in my feet. This is likely caused by having your boots too tight,
or the bindings too tight, or your boots do not fit properly.
