Hello everyone, looking to get my first board and planning to only ride it for a season before upgrading so I'm looking at something in the $150 and down range. Another reason why I'm looking for such a (ridiculously) cheap board is so that I can practice board maintenance on it and not have to worry about messing too much with an expensive board, and also so that hitting rails will be less worrisome. Have no problem with buying older models of snowboards.

I was thinking of maybe a new morrow press (2008) from modernskate.com for $140

Morrow Press Snowboard (2008) Product

or else the ride control (who knows what year...) used from galacticsnowsports.com for $100 after S&H

Used Ride Control Snowboard

Any opinions/better options?
