Your average snowboard has a waist width of ~25cm. Nose/tail widths of ~30cm are common. For "wide" boards people will go as wide as the raw material will allow, which gets you a nose/tail width of 32cm (12.6" or so). You want the molds and press to be wider than that, of course: 15"-18".
Good luck!

I was going to make my ski press able to upgrade from an 8" to a 10" in the future but I guess there is no purpose to that.
