Board finder

I need some help finding a new board. I try to do a little of everything. From ground tricks, to park, to jumps, to just cruzing around. I ride on a lot of ice but occationally powder. I need something that can hold an edge but at the same time has a little play to it for butters and presses. I'm looking for a twin tip board. Any suggestions? Also I have wide feet that are 10.5-11s and I'm having a lot of trouble finding boots and bindings. What should I do?
Hey there! only 2 boards spring to mind with your outline, try and demo the K2 ecopop or the Bataleon Violenza. Don't have too much of a lowdown on the K2, but the Bataleon Violenza is grippier than it's sisters (feel better / distortia); has a naturally set back stance, but only 12.5mm so it's a directional twin as opposed to the true twin. It has enough play to pull off a few tricks and is definitely not easily washed out etc. as for the boot size etc. - unsure if these boards would give your feet enough cover, a little overhang isn't problematic, so I don't know if it would be worthwhile looking at mens boards, I think the wide range of mens boards starts at size 11 - so you may be able to get away with a standard male board, but there are plenty to choose from with a huge variety.
