To much toe overhang?

Bit of a snowboarding noob here, but after a couple of years of renting decided to put together a set up? Is this too much toe overhang?

I wear a size 11 boot, so from what I gather I am a bit in no man’s land regarding to going to a wide board or staying regular…I’ve done the test where I put my boots in and lean into carpet, and I feel I can get a pretty good carve going, but it’ll be at least two months before I can actually test it in snow (and it’ll be a month past the return/exchange date).

Any advice would be appreciated…

 

Wide snowboards are generally for boots US 12 or larger. Most quality bindings will allow you to adjust the heel cup to reduce toe overhang.
