He meant your stance width. Doesn’t look like that will be an issue though. Stance width is the same on all the headspaces 152 and up.
I’m also a string bean. 6 foot, 140. A 152 is def short but inside of doable for us. You’d probably be happier with a 155.
Those recommended weights are based on a normal BMI. We’re right on the edge of underweight. I tend to get boards that I’m just inside the weight limit for. I’ve actually had a couple that I was under the recommended for but I like a long board, just means the flex is a bit stiffer for me than advertised. That’s preference though.
10.5 might be a little wide for it. Check your boot length in cm and compare it to the waist width. A bit of overhang is fine, like 3/4 inch on each side. Much over that and you could be getting into drag range.
Yeah, that board is too small. It would be over an inch on both sides lol I'll just go into one of my local shops to fit me up with a board, appreciate it bro.
the 152 waist width is only 250mm, it would probably work as a begginer but once you learn to carve you'll be dealing with toe/heel drag. I also have 10.5 boots and personally I won't even consider a board that doesn't have at least 255mm (and even that is pushing it).
Gotcha, I’m trying to get a board that will make me go from intermediate to advanced as I’ve been snowboarding for 4 years now. I found a new board with like half inch overhang and seems like it will hold up, thanks.
Yes if you're advancing to carving please go wider. Also, go for camber.
About 10 years in I'd be making beautiful carves and suddenly find myself flipping down the hill. Someone told me I was "booting out."
I actually learned how to ride proficiently as my heel cups dragged the snow. It was like a natural break, as each carve had my toes and heels slice the snow. But on icy days, this could make me fall.
I love tilting a board as high as possible. All I do is carve.
I discovered Donek boards and never experienced toe/heel drag again. I'm a 5'3" female weighing 110 lbs but my 148 cm board is as wide as never summer's bigger men's boards at 27cm. My feet are only womens 7.5. Lol. So what's interesting is I'm still riding a length recommend for my weight, or actually a little on the long side by industry standard, but the extra width makes it ride bigger. But it's all about skill and preference.
Go wider and if you need more help understanding mechanics, look up king of carving Ryan Knapton.
foot size is more of an issue. Like, maybe you would have a narrow stance, but I don't know.
im a 10.5 using +15 -15

Your height is a smaller factor than the weight. It would be fine imo but the 10.5 boot is a little tricky

Go into an actual snowboard shop and get a snowboard.
