Snowboarding Wide Bindings
My feet to big for snowboard? Forum Recon Wide?
I want to learn how to snowboard, and I just got my first board. It’s a Forum Recon Wide 158, with flux bindings. The only problem is my feet are size 13, and even though the board is a wide version my feet still hang over the edge by about an 1-2 inches in the front and half inch in the back. Will this cause problems when I am snowboarding? Is there any thing I can do, besides get a new board? Also, my front binding is 15degrees and my back is 6degrees.
Well I have size 14 and have a regular Wide Morrow board so Im in the same boat as you. YOu really dont have to worry too much about getting toe drag. The Board and the bindings combined give you an inch over the snow so you can lean at almost a 45 degree angle with out getting toe or heel drag and then you will fall over by then anyways. If your for some reason you really are worried about toe drag then you can get some risers that will put you higher off the ground.

PS: I dont have risers but If you really think there necessary… go for it.
