boards and binding it depends with what type of riding you do freestyle or free ride or a lil of both.
Good bindings are the strap ones, I don't think they make the step in any more, plus those were sold with the appropriate type of botties.
give us stats, weight, height, foot size, type of riding and that way we could further help you
and by the way, there are way better brands than burton

and at a cheaper price.
