Burton Balance Width?

Question

I am thinking about buying a 2002 Burton Balance 148 snowboard, but I have size 13 boots. I am used to the usual overhang that my big feet would produce, but I was wondering since this is a smaller board then i usually ride, will it be more of a problem?

Answer 1

Yeah you dont want much more than 1cm overhang on either side of the board otherwise you will get heel and toe drag which isent good. Its not just the size of your feet though as if you ride say heavily ducked you could get away with a narrower board, but as your feet are quite large i would expect you would be better off with a wide or mid wide board, Good Luck.

Answer 2

yes it will i wouldnt get that board...if your feet hang over that much your boots will get damaged and you will have a hard time turning fast
