Snowboard Width
« on: January 13, 2007, 11:55:26 PM »
Hi Frosty,

I'm 5' 6", 140 pounds, and a size 8 in women's boots. I just got a board with a width of 24.1. Your calculator suggest a 235 mm board. I stepped on top of my board with my boots (without bindings) and noticed that my boots are hanging out pretty far, esp the back foot on 0 degrees. The boot appears to be approx 1 inch over on the toe and heel side. Is my board not wide enough or am I doing something wrong, should I be at a greater angle?

Many Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Nancy,

Great question!  A boot overhang of 1 inch toe and heel is not bad at all.  STance angles are preference, but I can tell you that zero degrees on the back foot is not uncommon.  Looks like you are good to go!


Sincerely,
Frosty - 8
