l do not want any drag and the board i'm thinking of getting is
Waist Widths:
157 cm = 248mm

Is that good enough or will l drag?

well l have size 11 boots myself and like u l had the very same problem. l went to my local board shop and the guy said that with a size 11 boot l should be fine riding a regular board. he says l only should worry about drag if my feet got bigger than 11s. and as for the length l ride more freestyle than anything so ride boards from 155 to 157 so u should be fine. hope it helps

id recomend atleast a 25.8 but preferably like a 26.4, ive ridden different waist widths and l prefer wider boards for my style, and l dont like any performance hindering drag. 26.2 would be nice for you

Been there man, l know your pain, l as well am a size 11. Thank the snow gods that board companies have taken note to our pain and suffering. You can search on most online retailers and they usually have a ''Wide'' snowboard option. l have the Burton Bullet and love the thing, its kind of a ''beginner'' board but who cares l shred all day in Colorado with it.
