Question

i'm 5'3 female 145 lbs.

just purchased a 146 capita le tigre

i wear burton mint size 9 boots

and it appears that i have a litttle bit of overhang on both sides..

is this okay?

Answer 1

It depends how much a little bit is, if its about 1 cm overhang on you toe and heel edge then it will be ok. Much more than that then you might have problems with toe and heel drag which isent good. If its too much you could try just riding a bit more ducked to reduce the overhang but dont do this if you feel uncomfortable in that type of stance. Good luck with the riding.

Answer 2

what he said ^^^^^

Answer 3

Your going to have to ride it and find out if its ok, if your catching your toe and heal on the ground all the time, then NO its not OK, They make something specificly for that, its called a riser, i think palmer makes them they are like 60 bucks or something.

Good choice on the Capita board, thats a sweet deck..

Answer 4

Test it out!  If your boots/bindings are dragging and making you fall you could change the binding angle to correct it if it's minor.  For more correction you can get risers.

Answer 5

A little bit of overhang is fine.  That's the way most people's boards fit.  If it's a lot of overhang and your toes are draging then no you need a wider board.  As long as you dont have horrible toe drag you are fine.  Their is no right or wrong anwser on this one.  If it is cumfortable then ride it.  If you are having problems with your toes then you need to reconsider your set up.
