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 |

Do I have to buy a new board for those big boots?? 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. - Dave. -- The only powder to get high on, falls from the sky. http://www.vpas.org/ - Snowboarding the worlds pow pow - Securing your e-mail The Snowboard FAQ lives here - http://rssFAQ.org/ |
