As a big footed dude ive been riding wide boards for a long time now and my favorite so far has been the Rome machine. Its a wide board for mainly park but i shredded that stick in pow fairly often and loved it. go to a site like eternalsnow.com or dogfunk. they both have wide board sections so you can pick your own. but remeber ONLY SUPPORT RIDER OWNED COMPANIES (like rome or lib or gnu) big corpos dont care about snowboards just about money

Boards are based on preference. There is not only 1 best board. There are many types of boards too.

I would suggest theBurton Custom Wide. The custom is a well known board thats very well balanced. It can take you through anything.

Your best bet would be a burton custom wide. it is an awesome board for just about anything from pipe to powder. i have a size 13 boot so i got one after owning a burton king. It made a huge difference. ( i have a 162cm)

I started out riding Nitro wides, and then just switched to a Santa Cruz Largo this year.
