I also ride sz 9 boots and I have the L/XL. I have had 3 sets of them over 5 seasons. The only reason I bought new ones is because I got a rome proform from my buddies shop a few seasons in a row. You are going to love that poster mania you picked up as well. I ride an agent rocker, and its by far the best board I have ever ridden.
Reading this got me so amped to get out and ride this year! I can't wait to throw down with my new setup!!

Some of my friends went with the S/M and it was too small even though they wore a size 9 boot or something.
Really takes a load off hearing the good news with someone in the same boat. thanks man.

Do price matching for this years cartels at evo.com. Thats how i got my board for cheap and the cartels for 170. they'll probably be full price right now still though
Good site btw. Saved me 15 on the 390 bosses over another local shop i was looking at.

Oh ya, just ordered the bosses!!!! fuark yaaaaaaa!
