is my snowboard a wide board?
i wear size 12 boots, therefore i need a wide board
i ordered a size 157 board that doesnt say its wide anywhere
it says its Waist (cm) is 26.00
but im researching into actual Wide boards and the Waist (cm) size is in the 26.00 - 26.40.
so is my board indeed a wide one even though it isnt listed as one?
Many models don't say "wide" in the model name, but if you look at the description it will be a special model that is designed for the big footed riders - riders with proportionatly big feet for their weight. The Ride Fleetwood is a wide only board, it doesn't come in a narrow version (the Ride Control is the narrow version). The Ride Decade comes in both widths so there is a normal and a wide version.
Just because your board is 260mm at the waist doesn't mean it is a "wide" board - as boards get longer they also get wider at the waist. If that board is wide enough for you then you are fine. Just as long as it is wide enough for YOU. Use a calculator to find the right waist size for you:

Example:
- big rider, size 12 boots, 164 board - may not need a wide board
- thin rider, size 11 boots, 148 board - will need a wide board
(even though the boots are smaller, the board is much smaller and more narrow so a wide board is needed)
Good Luck
