I have a size 11 boot should i get a wide snowboard?

im looking to either getting an rome anthem which isa 161 and 25 cm at the waist or flag which is 160 and 26.1 cm at the wiast. Im a size 11 boot so im right at the cusp between wide and regular. I ridden the option wide boards before and loved the response but i know its you get and quicker response from regular boards, im just worried about my toe hanging over the edge, so im not sure if i should get the wide

get wide
Reply:if you have already been on a wide board and were comfortable with it i say go for the wide. like you said you are right on the line. if you came into my shop to buy a board i personally would encourage you to look into a wider board. the last thing you want is to be eating snow because you have toe drag. you can have a max on 1 in hanging over the edge with on your toe and your heal. any more then that and you will be having issues on the mountain.
