Hi! I'm a beginner looking for all-mountain board. How about this one or should I try something else? I'm 171lb/ 5'10 and wear 12 boot size. One more thing: what should be a minimum waist width of the board considering my foot size. Thanks in advance!

Hey Mike, While this has some advanced features it would still work great for a beginner. Magne-Traction will progress you faster with your turning while the Banana Tech rocker will keep you off your ass (most of the day). I have a size 12 as well and go down to even 252mm waist width comfortably. I wouldnt suggest anything smaller than that.
