most would say try on the boots before you buy them, but i think with burton nothing can really get DRASTICALLY uncomfortable. Other than that congratulations on the new set up!

thanks man....i tried on the boots they are really comfortable. i was just kinda iffy on the quality of flow board and bindings

yea, i have noticed that people are iffy on that brand but the bindings are ok unless you are doing SUPER agressive crazy runs and the board should be fine.

Boots wise, as long as they fit, you're golden. And believe it or not, Flow makes some quality stuff, it's just not pushed as agressively as Rome or Burton or something like that, for example.

I totally agree with this, The Flow boards are totally underated and every person I know that has one or has ridden one was very impressed with the quality and response. The bindings are a personal choice...they've fixed most of the bugs that plagued the earlier versions and for a beginner I think although it removes some of the spirituality of "strapping in" they are a great choice because they're super easy to get in and out of. That set up should last you a good couple of years at least. Enjoy!
