I have finally discovered the Widest Snowboard On Earth

After experiencing toe and heel drag for my entire snowboarding career… I have finally discovered the “Widest Snowboard on Earth”!

I have size 15 boots, so toe and heel drag has driven me crazy for years. I’m not sure what took me so long, but a quick google search for “what is the widest snowboard made” yielded me results that directed me toward Elan’s El Grande. I have a feeling my next snowboard purchase is rapidly approaching… and the Elan El Grande is at the top of the list.

Anyone have any experience with Elan boards?

i know! i found one place… and they are sold out.

These are IMPOSSIBLE to find. I read a blog somewhere and the dude was sayin’ that he got one from Canada somewhere… and paid an ass-load for shipping. Lol!

Have a look at Artec’s board. The Phenom comes in length upto 167 and a 285mm waist. The same width as the El Grande, and it has sweet performance to match
