Snowboard waist for size 13 boots
Posted: 02 October 2012 02:17 PM
Hi I’m looking for a new snowboard for this season I wear 13 (us) boots and I’m wondering if a 262mm waist would be ok if not which waist size would be the best for my boots size
thank you for your help !

I wear a size 13 as well. I have two boards, one has a 26.8cm waist and the other a 26.4cm. I have no probelms with either of these as far as toe drag goes.
Another thing to check is the nose and tail measurements. This will give you a more accurate idea of how your boot will fit the board because they’ll be at the inserts, not the waist.
Consider your binding angles as well. The more angle you have on your bindings, the less toe drag you’re going to have. I ride 12/-12 myself.

Yes 26.2cm should be fine as long as the board doesn’t have a 12m sidecut.
Dan’s right the boot width calculator will tell you the mathematical truth.
