What board to pick

I am 6ft tall and have a 11 size boot.  I also weight 216 lbs of ripped muscle (joking) average size build.  I have been riding a gnu 161w w mtx but I only get out a few times a year because I live in Florida.  When I was in Colorado last year I felt this board was too stiff for my heal to toe transitions.  I tested out a ride board I think it was 159 semi directional and not as wide. I don't remember the width but the tail felt allot looser and really filled in what I thought I was missing.  Can anyone recommend a board that might fit my needs.  I am really just carving down the mountain and taking in the sights.  I would like to stay with something semi directional or even directional.  I am not really getting into the park at this point maybe in the future but not now.  I feel my boot size is a concern with the width of a board.  I have been searching around the net and feel like I am spinning my wheels.  All help is appreciated!

The board is a CHB I believe an 08 model with green white and black on the bottom.  I couldn't find the specs for the waist but suspect its defiantly wider than I need.  I did like the ride board I used but I am open to someones knowledge that I don't have in the board market.  I would stick with a camber board to make edge to edge transitions easier if that is correct?

Are your boots center on your board? They could be off center and that could be what is creating your problem or it could just be too wide. I would check the cheap one first. I think your waist width is 26.5, so it is larger than need but i am not sure if it is too larger to work. If your boots are 08 I would look for something in the 255 ww range.

thanks for all help guys

You could also look into boots that have the smaller footprint technology.  They would give you the footprint of a size 10 which would open up most normal size boards for you.
