Bio:
Single speed 29er is what I ride. 9 foot 4 weight rods are what I cast. Never Summer boards are what I turn. A finger tip is what I'm missing.

Burton Clash Snowboard
February 4, 2009
You want to look at the waist width measurement. With his physical description something with a waist width of at least 26.0cm would probably be best. With this in mind, the Burton Clash may not be the best choice.

Burton Bullet Snowboard - Wide
February 4, 2009
Honestly, with size 13 kicks this board may be a bit narrow for you. Length is really more dependent on the terrain type but at your physical description I'd be looking for a board in the 163 to 168 range with a waist width in the 26.5 ballpark.

Ride Concept TMS Snowboard
February 4, 2009
With a waist width of 25.2 on the 164 you're very likely to encounter heel/toe drag. Look for a board with a waist width of at least 26.0 and you'll be much happier with your ride.

Burton Clash Snowboard
January 8, 2009
You'll most likely want a board with a waist width greater than 265mm, maybe greater than 270mm if the stance angles are near zero. At the posted physical dimensions I would imagine a board in the 160cm to 170cm range but that all depends on riding style.

Burton Custom ICS Snowboard - Wide
January 8, 2009
Take a look at the Never Summers with their rocker & camber technology. I was able to demo a 163 and 166 Legacy a couple weeks ago in Telluride and was super impressed and ready to make the purchase once the wallet recovers.

Burton Twin Snowboard
January 8, 2009
Anything with a waist width under 255mm and you'll have toe or heel drag depending on your angles, boots/binders, etc. I wear 11.5 Salomons and prefer boards in the 260mm to 270mm waist width range.

Burton Cartels work really well with this boot. I ride off piste with this combo and feel like the performance and comfort is perfect.
