Last season I had a Salomon Official 161 with a Waist Width of 253mm and experianced a little heel and toe drag (size 10 boot). I want a 2012 156 skatebanana and was unsure if I should get a wide (265mm) or would I get away with a regular width 156 skatebanana of 255mm. Any thoughts? Cheers!

Why stay away from a wide board?

If you can stay away form a wide board i would reccomend that. you can angle out your bindings so your boots don't have as much overhang. you can try finding a boot that has a smaller foot print. you have lots of options to not ride a wide board.
