You are borderline. I have seen people with your size feet ride either
the Wide or the Sasquatch. If you lean the board over a lot or want
better float in powder, go for the Sasquatch. For expert advice, email
Donek and the owner himself will help you decide what board width is
good for you (I would suggest that you call, but it's an international
phone call for you).

If a UK 12 is a US 13, I'd go with a Sasquatch. I ride a Wide (when I'm in
soft boots) and have US8 / 26.0 Mondo boots.

What is your standard? Are you doing any carving, or riding steep slopes
with not much powder.

well, as i exist in the world of boarding holidays and no serious
season craziness, the answer depends on where i go and who i travel
with, but more generally:

i am carving a little , and prefer not to ride the hideously steep
slopes. so the powder is prefered..

incase anyone knows, my other thought is the phoenix, has anyone ridden
one and how flexible are they?

The Phoenix is much softer than the Wide/Sasquatch. I would rate it at
like 5 where as for a freeride board the Wide/Sasquatches are like a
9-10 (I've ridden the Phoenix 155 and the Incline 155). The Phoenix
rides short (I think I would have been happier with the 160).

The phoenix is a good board. The 163w is probably big enough for you,
but it is definitely softer than
the wide of sasquatch. I don't like it as much for bombing runs, but as
far a a board that I feel like
you can make it do what you want when you while still having good float
in powder and a fairly stable
ride at a speed the phoenix is great. Those other boards are beasts.
Great boards but if you haven't
ridden a really stiff board it is a different experience.
