And can you guys also explain what is all that stuff of inserts number the insert setback. Not really sure what that means Do you guys think the style of the board is appropriate to me and even the lenght ?. Let me know your opinions and maybe other suggestions :D

According to size charts, that’s the equivalent of size 13 US. I’m not too familiar with Rossignol boards, and I’m very surprised they don’t even have the waist width specs listed on their website. Either way, I assume the MW is Mid Wide, and at your boot size, I would suggest that’s the right way to go. Just out of curiosity, where do you live?
