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 |

It has a 27 cm waist and is recommended for size 12+ See http://www.priorsnowboards.com/frame...ards_used.html |

I would adree you need a wider board with those size feet. 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. 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). |
