First board
Hi I am in the process of looking for a new board to buy I also need to get boots and bindings. I am 190cm 77kg and us12 size foot I am looking at the burton flying v board 159cm and need help with trying to find good bindings and boots any suggestions will be helpful 
I’ve got the Burton custom flying v but havn’t used it yet .... 
I’ve got the mission est’s to go with it and Ambush boots .... but again I havn’t actually used them yet .... other than in the lounge room ..... which doesn’t really count…..
So really I guess what I’m saying is I have no advice for you at all of any significance or based in experience 
... but I know there will be a wealth of knowledge from the guru’s on the site!!!
Welcome to the boards tho Thewolldog!! you’ll get some good advice, I’m sure
I rode a Flying V in America and thought it was awesome, really easy to ride!!!
I believe you will need to get the ‘wide’ version of the snowboard if you snowboard boots are size 11 or over
Yeh I was wondering that I don’t think Ile buy off the net
just got myself a bataleon funkink
This board looks good http://shop.fyve.com.au/product/fyve-155-mellow-reverse
Ive got size 12 feet and I ride a Wide board. It definitely helps prevent drag (although its not essential), especially if you don’t ride with a big duck stance.
I got a GNU 156W park pickle and it seems to be really good, although I have only ridden it 3days all up now. you can also get mid wides, that might be worth looking at as well.
why were you looking at the Burton Flying V? Just remember that will be limited to Burton bindings as well if you get that board.

Hey Man!
I havent rode the flying v however my specs are pretty much spot on with yours, 190cm, US12 boots, im a bit fatter though at 85kg haha
Anyway man you dont need a wide board! I find for me a perfect waist width is 254mm and above to not get any toe/heel drag (ive got 32 boots if that makes a difference) However my current ride is a 251mm waist width and ive got no problems with it at all so dont be fooled into thinking your board needs to be super wide, thats bs.
However at the smaller waist widths you have to adjust your angles to around -15 +15 and i usually have a super wide stance aswell, normal width boards are better for you in every way then their ‘wide’ counterparts 
Just my 2cents
I agree with Croseks.
I don’t have big feet but my brother rocked size 12’s on a 150 board with a 249 width for a while and never really complained. If you’re not riding Duck (+15 / -15) or at least close to that, you’re doing it wrong. Remember that your back foot doesn’t make much difference when going regular. So if you normally ride (+15 / -9) then try cranking that back foot around and see how it rides. You’ll be surprised and it will also help switch riding.
With boots, make sure you try on a full range. It’s impossible to say which boots will work for your foot shape. However, with size 12 feet, I would be inclined to look into boots with a reduced footprint, i.e. Burton’s higher end boots. I’m not saying these will work for you, but if they do you will be able to ride a board with a narrower waist width.
My advice would be to buy your boots first. That way you will know exactly what sort of waist width you should be looking at. I think this is really important to consider.
If you go with a Burton board, I would recommend something like the Burton Cartel bindings; either Re:flex or EST, depending on whether you intend to use the bindings on non-Burton boards in the future (EST bindings will only work with Burton channel boards). I find the Cartels to be excellent value; comfortable, great performance and good features.
Let us know if you have any questions. Welcome to Boardworld. 
I have size 12 DC’s, 6’3” and am way fatter then the lot of you at somewhere over 110kgs. The waist width on my boards is 255 for the 159 banana and 257 for the 157 T Rice although you would be hard pressed to spot the difference. I ride duck +15 -15 on both and on the T Rice the bindings are on the widest set of holes which probably helps a bit as well. I don’t notice any drag but I’m fairly particular when I set my boards up and pay attention to getting equal amounts of overhang on both toe and heel edge.
nthbeachesguy adds a great point!
Set up your bindings correctly and you can reduce your footprint! Evenly space out the toe and heel parts of the boot over the board, put the boots into the bindings and tighten up like you regularly would when riding then move bindings back/forth until your BOOT is in the middle of the board, not your bindings
Also try and extend your bindings toe and heel ramps (nearly every bindings has at least toe ramps) so they are as close to the edge as possible without going over to give you better leverage.
On top of all that, turn your heel cup around so that it is parallel with your boards edges, this will depend on your stance angles.
If your unsure about anything i just mentioned, just google it up to see videos of what i mean because you really want to set up your bindings correctly to release any pressure points and give you more performance and comfort
Also - broaden your horizons board-wise.
Although they’re definitely good boards, there are a LOT more good boards out there besides Burton’s Flying V boards.
