Term

Overhang

The extent to which boots or bindings project beyond the board's edges.

GLOSSARY · Equipment, setup & maintenance

Overhang is how far the toes and heels stick out past the board's edges. A little overhang helps leverage; too much causes boot-out when carving.

Context and distinction

Overhang depends on boot size, waist width and binding angles. Reducing it is one way to prevent boot-out.
