i ride the baron es 164 this year, i have size 12 6'2" 289lbs it was a good board. a little stiff for jibing but it got the job done, overall a really good board. carves nice and awesome off jumps and in the pipe.

what ever board you go with here are some things to look at.

you probably dont want to go much shorter then a 161.

you need a waist width of at least 25.9 and a nose and tail width of at least 30.0 so look at some spects and make a decision yourself. oh and by the way hoever sugested the dominant is an idiot, they dont make one large enough for you my friend.

(well you could get away with the 59 but i think dominants are just shitty boards anyway)

try the signal 163, it should be fairly stiff and is wide enough for you. i am 6', 165, size 12s and rock the 157, which is the perfect size and pretty stiff. signals are pretty bombproof and the stiff flex should be good for you. support a sick smaller brand rather than feeding the burton machine.

scotty arnold would be pretty good for you. its a fairly stiff board but with someone of your size it wouldnt be a problem and its wide to support your big feet

get an atomic alibi wide, also look at never summer. rome graft would be pretty good. screw burton man, their boards are really shitty when it comes to quality. just go with companies like atomic, rome, neversummer, and o-matic. if ur doing park, i would go for 157-163 considering ur weight. if u want more info go to snowboard.com, sign up, go to forums, scroll down click snowboards, they have a good line of people that know their shit.

check out the option Axis. It's the wide version of the mirror, Option's quality freestyle stick. They're good quality, carbon triax glass and wood core. I used to make them.
