new board

Hello,

It sounds like you are definitely in need of a wider board to accomodate your big feet. I am a size 12 myself and I can tell you that a wide board is like a breath of fresh air if you have never ridden one before. If you have been on a 159 I would say you should stick with something that length or a little longer. Here are some suggestions from our site. All gear us on sale right now and shipping is free in the US:

wax problem

Hello,

A good base grind and a fresh wax job should fix this problem for you. Just take the board down to your local board shop and they should be able to take care of it for you.

I hope that helps and please visit our web site at http://www.rdcshop.com if you need any other gear.

goofy footer

Hello,

This term is derived from the world of surfing. Surfers have been calling the stances goofy and regular since way back when. I am not sure how the stance came to be called goofy, but both skateboarders and snowboarders use the terms coined by surfers.

If you need any snowboard gear please stop by our web site at http://www.rdcshop.com. All winter gear is on sale at 30-50% off.

getting sponsored

Hello,

The best way to get sponsored is to start entering contests at your local ski area. If you are really that good you should be able to start winning in the top 3 for a few contests and people will start to notice. That is the first step towards getting sponsored.

Best of luck and if you need any other gear please stop by our web site at http://www.rdcshop.com.
