You don't even really need a mid-wide with size 12 boots, a regular boot will do just fine for beginner to intermediate riders who aren't making carved or high board angle turns. You can also get riser pads made by either Burton or Palmer used to make them but I have not seen those in stores for sometime if you want to use a regular board and you have huge feet.

i actually got lucky looking on craigslist the first time and bought a board and bindings that were less than 4 years old for $80. mind you i had never boarded before that so i just asked people what size was good for me. turns out it was perfect. i've learned since that you won't know until you're on the mountain which is best.
for first timers, my suggestion is go cheap till you feel out some boards. |

I looked at the Beginner selection of boards and was kinda disappointed. There really isn't much of a selection. Are there other boards not classified as beginner boards but can be used by beginners like me? Thanks...

Another good point for beginners could be to just start renting and feeling out boards, style, sizes, preferences, etc. Miles from the resort, you can get good rentals for ~$20.

I'm looking at the ride kink 2011 or the ride manic 2011.. because they're on sale for an amazing 220 dollars right now... Obviously i need a wide board size 14 boot.. My weight is like 130 and my height is like 5"ll or 5"10.. But i want it to last me a few seasons.. I like to hit the jumps all the time every time i go down the mountain i'm hitting jumps.. i do hit rails or pipes a little but not as much as jumps.... i'm wondering what board you guys would think is best for me and what size? but keep in mind i need a wide.. so it's gotta be made in a wide.. thanks for the advice.. or if you have a different board around the same price what one do you suggest?
