K2 Zeppelin Snowboard - Wide
You've considered chopping your toes off so your feet will fit on your buddy's all-mountain freestyle Zeppelin, but you're pretty sure your balance would go to crap if you did. You're right. No worries, your big dogs'll be fine on the K2 Wide Zeppelin Snowboard. The Zeppelin Wide's triaxial glass provides torsional stiffness for bomber edge control, while the light, durable core tapers towards the ends for low swing weight on your 360s. K2 also made this twintip with titanal torsional forks so you can power out of your landings and carbon components for a lively board feel.
Bottom Line: Big dogs love the Zeppelin Wide.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

I'm 6'1 @ 210lbs. and my current deck is an old Salomon Prospect 165. I'm looking to replace it with this one, but can't decide on a 163 or 166. I usually ride blue/black all mountain, stay clear of the park, and love 2' of air every once in a while. Thx for the help.

Well it's really a matter of preference. If it were me, I'd go with the 163 because I prefer a little shorter board. Either one will be fine though and you probably won't even notice a difference because one would be 1cm longer, and the other 2cm shorter. That's not much. The longer board will be smoother and more stable at high speeds, while the shorter one will be easier to control. Backcountry's general sizing reccomendation puts you anywhere from a 161 to a 166. So the 163 would obviously be much closer to the middle, while the 166 would be getting close to the longest you would even want to consider. My opinion, the 163.
The 163 is easier to control and would be better for the park. It sounds like you stay out of the terrain park, so the 166 will let you go faster and is more suited to someone your size. I'd go with a 166.
