tbcustomz has created a new forum topic 09 flow quantum. Posted on Mar 12, 2009
So I bought a quantum 158 and it is labeled as a wide board on the sticker.  On flows website they only have it listed as available in a 158 and not as a wide board.  The specs say it is 25.9 cms wide.  Snowboard fusion has them listed with both a 158 and 158 wide available.  Are there two seperate versions for 09 or not?  It is alot wider than what I normally ride and wider than I need to prevent overhang with 9.5 boots.  I dont know if the extra width will make it alot harder to turn in and if the extra weight will be noticeable.  Any input would be great.

tbcustomz has created a new forum topic ride crew/ solamon synapse. Posted on Mar 01, 2009
I am trying to decide which boots to go with and what size.  I have been boarding for a long time off/on, but I would consider myself an intermediate rider at best.  I dont really have a style as I live in iowa and have only made it one trip to keystone.  Here we have super short runs with a few hits and some small rails.  I do enjoy carving, but we dont really have runs that allow much.  I have been using a pair of old burton ruler step in boots in a 9.5.  They started out stiff and very tight with my toes hitting.  They since have loosened up considerably and I now have heel lift.  I have nowhere to try on these boots to compare.  I did try on some of the entry level solamon boots in a 9 and they seemed to fit well.  I normally wear a 10 or sometimes 9.5 in street shoes.  The boots I get will be used with flow nxt at bindings.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.
