What do you guys have to say about wide snowboards. I've read somewhere that says they are becoming less popular etc and that they are less versatile and slower.

Wherever you're hearing that they are less versatile and slower is just a lie. Wide snowboards have a purpose and their purpose is to give a good board to people who generally have a size 11.5 or bigger boot. They are going to built the exact same way as their narrower friends but just have a little bit wider of a base to accomodate for width. I personally ride a wide board, since my boot is 13. Neither slower or less versatile, if you have the foot size and overall size to handle the extra width it will actually perform better for you than a narrower board.

They are great for people with bigger feet, or people that are heavier for their height.
