It also depends on the size of the outside of your boots.

Chances are though, you want something at least 270mm, if not more. Have
a look at the K2 Trucker (if they still do it), or the Donek Sasquatch. I
see the Burton's have been creeping down in size - the Canyon isn't as
wide as it used to be.

look for something about 26.5cm or so...even up to about a 27 width if
you're really worried

good luck,

Ride Fleetwood is another one to check out.

almost every company makes a wide board but that's a pretty good one.

Yep Fleetwood is quite wide I have a 55(155cm) and size 46 like you my rear
foot is at about 0° not sure as it's not show on my bindings.
Anyway I'm looking for a new board as my 55 is really too small for me, but
still wide enough.

Currently trying to get my hands on a Option Sansalone Wide 165 04/05, but
is very hard in Europe

You say that, but I guess it depends on what is considered as wide.
Burton's Canyon has been reduced from 272mm when they first came out to
262mm this season. 262 is wider, but I don't consider it wide.

true, I'd agree with that...no idea why they would make such a drastic
change. but they are Burton after all -- can't ever really trust them
to do what's expected.

personally I think the whole mid-wide board phenomenon got huge with the
'04 models and then I heard (surprisingly) that even more manufacturers
were going this way with the '05 models, so maybe that's it.
