well i started snowboarding last year. my friends told me i learned really fast ( 2nd day i was on the terrain park) but basically im looking for a snowboard cause last year i rented all year =/ and i have no idea what are some good companies. i snowboard in bristol, NY Type= Freestyle ( lil buttery) Size= 154 - 156 cm Restrictions = in between 200-350$ And while im at it bindings. sicne idk much bout them to.
imo i would go for big name brand stuff like k2, burton, and ride untill you know what you want(size, shape ect.) the last board that i rode was a lib-tech skate banana... http://www.lib-tech.com/snowboards/index.html
Go with burton for now, everyone seems to like them. I think they are alright, but all the beginners here have them.
