    I have size 15 and can ride anything any one else can. Now be all means it is nicer to have a wider board for me just because of my wide feet but you will be able to handle yourself just fine.

    It's more minis but ya i know what you mean. I tend to like wider boards so it doesn't affect me that much.

    Get a BDS or some other wide board and you'll be fine.

    Narrow boards with aggressive concave are less comfortable, but never unridable. As long as you can avoid foot-wheel bite or dragging your toesies on the ground you'll be fine.

    I've got pretty big feet also, depending on your style of riding there are definately boards out there for you. For cruising check out the M1 by kracked skulls. Super wide with a mild concave.
    Good luck
    If you can't be good, be careful

    Like someone else said, I just have a little trouble with narrow boards that have lots of concave. I couldn't ride the Earthwing Superglider, for example, unless I had shoes on. The Supercharger felt great though. If you're getting a board with concave, just pick up one that's at least 9.5 inches wide.

    Nah, snowboarding maybe but I have yet to run-into an issue even my Arbor pocket rocket is a great board for quick little runs and I am sitting at 13 so a touch smaller then you.
