Hey guys I'm looking into maybe buying a snowboard for this year. I learned how to snowboard last year for the first time and I'll be getting a chance to hit the slopes again this Christmas. Can any of you point me in the right direction as to what kind of board/bindings/boots to get?
Check out www.the-house.com too, they've usually got some decent deals too. HUGE selection. and if i remember right, they have an online chat for asking questions. If not give 'em a call and they're extremely helpful.
Be careful on how wide a board you get if you go wide. I ride with size 12 boots and my first board was a Nitro Magnum. That board has a 272mm waist width and rides like a big fat pig.
Try to keep the width around 260-262mm. Wider is not better.
I am 6'2" 195lbs and ride a 162cm. board. I dont ride any park.
