/ February 10, 2011Regular would be fine, generally the line on when you should be looking at wides is 12 and up. Anything around 25 to mid 24′s in waist width would be fine for you.
Yes, that's me

/ February 10, 2011I dont know which board you want but Im pretty sure in those sizes the waist width of the board is about 25cm or 250mm. Now, forum doesnt give you a boot size requirement for the individual board sizes. So I went on lib techs site and looked at their TRS 157 and it has a waist width of 25.3 and is for boot sizes 8.5 to 10.5. So this should give you a really good idea based on lib techs standards. I think as long as you have about a 25cm or 250mm waist width then you’re totally chill.

Make sure you fit in the weight class of that board. You can ride smaller if you ride a lot of park but don’t expect the same performance if you plan on riding a lot of groomers. If you ride powder then longer or wider are a good way to go or try out something with rocker.
