66jzmstr 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Whoa - if he's only a 10.5US, do not put him on a wide board unless he likes, unresponsive, lumbering turns. I haven't ridden the Custom yet, but the 10.5 waist width on it is very doable for 10.5's as long as he doesn't have a super narrow stance. Link to post Share on other sites

I have the Custom Wide 162 as my first board. It was so difficult to learn to turn that I switched to the Sapient Identity 157. If I had to do it all over I would get a board around 159/160cm with anything having a waist width 24.8 or higher. After some tweaking over this past weekend, my bindings are set at 15/-12 now (makes it much easier for me to ride switch than the 18/-9 setting which feels better, but not in switch mode).
