zurb foundation is it possible to have full row width

I ran into the same problem yesterday. The trick is, for full width spanning blocks, you just keep them out of the row/column structure, since row/column will always apply the default padding. Keep your footers and headers on their own, and use row/column inside them.

<header>
    This will span the full width of the page
</header>
<div class="row">
    <div class="twelve columns">
        This text will flow within all typical padding and margins
    </div>
</div>
<footer>
    This will span the full width of the page
    <div class="row">
        <div class="twelve columns">
            This text will flow within all typical padding and margins
        </div>
    </div>
</footer>
