Need Advice - What Bindings to Get With Med-Soft Flex Board/Stiff Boots

Hey Everyone,

I'm a beginner-intermediate boarder. I've been up about 7-8 times and I'm getting reasonably proficient at carving.

I decided recently to upgrade from my starter set. I just purchased the Rome Tour Board.
Rome Tour 2014-2013 Snowboard Review & Buyers Guide

The Tour Board sounded like the right combination for what I want to achieve on the slopes (comfortably carving down runs - no need for great speed or tricks). I'm now looking into buying new bindings. I'm thinking of sticking to my old Burton Sabbath Boots:

I'm currently leaning towards buying the Burton Custom Re-Flex Bindings: Burton Custom Re Flex Review by The Good Ride

My question is whether this would be a good combination of board-bindings and boots. The tour board is medium-soft flex. The Custom Re-flex bindings are also medium-soft flex. The boots are Medium-High Stiffness (7/10).

Would this combination work well or do I need buy different binding or different boots?

Your input would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know anything about the boot you mentioned but I think the bindings would be fine for where you're at right now. Looks like they're on the softer side for a medium flex binding which is good since you've still got some learning to do. They'd be usable in the park or the rest of the mountain, get em and look at upgrading as you progress.

I have nothing bad to say about those choices but I would look at the Rossi Templar for what you want to do. I haven't ridden the Tour but it's rated noodle soft. Templar is a solid intermediate board, very cheap on sale, and more suited to learning carving and riding groomers. Higher quality base as well. $150 at evo outlet. Check the reviews on goodride and angrysnowboarder. I keep pushing it on intermediates and they love it.
