wandering which one to get. have uk 10 vans Aura boots. With rome Targa L/XL bindings soo i take it a wide board would be needed or preffered.
The Bullet is very different to the other boards. It’s super soft and fairly entry-level, with a full rocker profile. It’s a good board for beginners but I’d step it up if you’re already past that stage of snowboarding. Worth noting, it also has an extruded base (sintered is better). Also, how much do you weigh? What size board are you looking at? You probably don’t need to get such a wide board.
Both those Ride boards are top end freestyle boards. They have different camber profiles and the DH2 is stiffer.
Are you definitely limiting yourself to only those three boards? Can you provide us with any further information? i.e. riding experience, riding style, riding locations etc. I know you might have already mentioned these things in another thread but I have forgotten.
you most def dont need a wide board
my weight is 70KG im not a begginer just thought of upgrading. i want something playful but stable at high speeds. open to suggestions aswell and i do need a wide board because my boots are quite stiff and every shop i went into suggest that i get a wide board.
Stiff boots doesn’t equate to wide board!!!!!
A stiff boot just means more response!!!!!
I wear US10 Vans BFB’s, and they were the stiffest boot I could find at the time, that fitted my foot correctly!!!!!
A wide board really only comes into play if either ya got a big foot or its gonna be a pow specific board!!!!!
i went into several shops in switzerland and all of them told me a wide board would be a better fit for uk 10 feet. soo US 11
The widest I would go with a 11US boot is a 256mm waist. You really don’t need anything wider than that. Also, if you’re rocking a somewhat wide stance and/or duck stance, you can probably get away with even narrower. You certainly don’t need to be on a proper wide board, as they have waist widths of 260mm and wider.
A US11 boot is still suitable for standard width boards!!!!!
Do you ride with a wide stance????? You also say that ya want somethin that’s stable at high speeds!!!!! Do ya prefer all mountain, park, groomers?????
Didn’t see your post, Jez!!!!!

Find better shops, where they actually know what they’re talking about.
