You'd think some manufacture would have a tapered camber shape that they offer in 24.5/25.5/26.5/27.5/28.5 covering the whole spectrum of feet. I think the issue is that most board makers make boards for johnny the weekend warrior who isn't particularly good at getting a board to go edge to edge so there afraid to go over 26.5cm for there wides Which leaves those of us with bigger feet(im US 11.5) with vastly reduced options in terms of off the shelf boards. Things are starting to change a little though but manufactures are also reducing the length as they increase the width...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer a board without wings and a shade longer but it's definitely on the short list. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corran Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 The wings are part of what makes it work so well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poloturbo Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 If It's titanal I really dont know how he can do it... Jasey told me beyond 26.5 it's very hard to have titan sheets. Possible to make one wider but very costly. Referring to Bobdea Coiler BXFR 27.5. At 840 canadian pesos its a steal. Might be the best option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonbordin Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I get to add to my own list. Parlor makes a Dropwallet (153, 28.2 wide, camber option)- https://parlorskis.com/collections/snowboards-1/products/dropwallet? Looks like might be fairly straightforward to demo one if you live in the N.E. https://parlorskis.com/pages/on-snow-demos Edited January 15, 2019 by lonbordin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasquatch_Surfer Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I'll throw my vote in for Donek Incline. I have one 169cm x 30cm. Pretty solid ride for most stuff except maybe icy bumps. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel the same, but in reality there are more small/medium people than large in our sport. I think the LTB165 would be too short for you even for a shifted board , your gonna loose speed & sink it in deep powder... I have a 181 nitro cannon , its 26 wide & I free ride with hard boots so over hang is not a problem. my only issue with it is its too soft for my weight in hard boots. my next ride to replace the nitro will be a 181 fullbag hammerhead I like the scr, & blunted tip/tail better. good luck with you search. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. 840 loonies is nothing when converted. It's like USD3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnE Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I love my Donek Flux. I think it is 28cm waist by 158cm long. Does almost everything well. My buddy also ordered one. I think his is 30cm x 170cm. He loves his too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the ride timeless is metal, the 167 is something like 275 wide so the material is obtainable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurch Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hmm I'd check that @bobdea- I thought I recall Bruce saying someting about 26.5 was it and rest was filled in with glass or carbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
