That may be the widest board I've ever seen. (Size 22 shoes?!) The length doesn't look that big to me, though. (Of course, my everyday board is a 182, so I may have a different perspective.) This beast easily has that beat.

I doubt it will be with S.White thou... probably one of the chicks.

Yes, it would float well, but could you imagine how hard it would be to turn something like that?! There is a reason boards aren't made this large for regular sized people, they really wouldn't be the "ultimate"

Big Air. Kids today, that's all they want, big air. I say stick to the mountain. That's where the fun is. You want big air kid? Pull my finger.

Size 22 is 10 times my size! But someone like Shaq falling on the slopes is like watching a tree fall so you better get out of the way!

I'd put my bet on Shaq for his Shaq vs TV show.
David Robinson snowboards? That would be something to see. Couldn't find a picture but found a nba blurb about it. http://www.nba.com/spurs/news/robinson_feature_050808.html

Even though the Doughboys, Grocers and Skunk Apes are long, they wouldn't be nearly wide enough for that size 22 boot. They're relatively narrow, even though they're long. And, that board doesn't look like it was built to be long, as much as it was to be wide to accommodate the ridiculously large foot. They have it next to a Sherlock, which only comes in a 163 as the longest version, and that Vapor isn't all that much longer than it.

Haha, this one? This is Brody's 193 Lib Tech Doughboy.

It would be interesting to hear the specs on that Vapor.

If it was made for an athlete, they would most likely be retired, because I'm pretty sure that pro athlete's aren't allowed to do any other sports than the one they are paid for. I think it's in most contracts that they can't do it.

"With Charles Barkley, Nike concentrated its design efforts in absorbing the incredible shock generated when "Sir Charles" size 16 feet hit the floor."

I'm guessing it was just a shoe, not specifically his shoe?

http://sneakers.pair.com/barkley.htm

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As far as Shaq having that big of feet, it's true. And I'm sort of in agreement with these people speculating that it's for his stupid ass tv show, I really hope it is. It'd be so funny to see him catch an edge on that thing.

I grew up being obsessed with Shaq. Was a retardedly huge fan when I was little. Lately, tho, it's like dude, you're frickin' old and you suck. Call it quits already. And now he's at Boston with my homies The Big 3 (+1)? WTF? They better win the title so he can be done.

Either way, if they do use this thing for a show I can only assume it'll be SHAQ vs Shaun White, and Burton will have their crap plastered e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e...

One piece of advice -- do not ride the lift with this dude (unless it's a windy day, then maybe that's exactly who you want on your chair?). . . .

Maybe it is Shaqs board and he ordered it for that horrible Shaq Versus ... show. It amazes me what shows get greelit sometimes.

Yea his feet are huge. I remember an all star game a few years back where he was showing off his sneakers. They really are that massive.

it would be really interesting to try to find the biggest board you can and see how it rides. u would really have to put your weight into the turns but it will probably ride powder anything else like a w12 audi
