I am looking into skiboarding, but am a rather large person. I play football at my school, and do a decent job at staying in shape, but am 6'4" and about 240 lbs. I was wondering if skiboarding is a very feasible option for me, or is the short length going to make it difficult for me.

if you don't have any skiing/skiboarding experience you might want to go shorter until you get a year or two under your belt. shorter boards will be easier for you to learn and maneuver but won't float your weight as well in powder.

Sorry for doing another one in a row, but I just realized another problem. I have size 15 feet, but it would seem that most bindings only go up to size 13 (us men's, for those wondering). Am I overlooking one, or do I need to look into getting something special?

I thought I'd have the same problem, because I have 13.5's but they fit in almost all the bindings. Your size though....that might be tough, you might need specialCurrently hosting 210 reviews on over 85 different skiboarding related items written by riders for the riders.

if the boots you go with are over 358mm then you might be out of luck. i know the deeluxe boots have a shorter sole length because they are not din compatible. so you could get those but couldn't use releasable bindings with them. or if you wait until next year maybe bomber will make the extra long elites again.
