New gear for noob

Hi

I just joined this forum a few days ago after reading some of the advice, reviews, etc on here regarding equipment.

I've only been snowboarding on two trips. Once to Park City and once to South Tahoe. I'm going back to PC March 2015.

About me, before my first trip I've never skied on snow or water at all. However I picked it up very quickly and at Tahoe was keeping up pretty much with advanced friends.

I ski only free ride. Have no desire to do any tricks. I'm 49 do doubt I could. Btw the friends I kept up with are in their 20's :)

Decided as I'm hooked to buy my own gear so makes it easier to continue getting better, besides costs of rental everything.

I purchased the following from Evo and will get Monday as they were having their July sale.

157 Burton Superhero 2013
Burton Mission EST bindings

I'm not great at toe-Side do want to hone my skills with carving from heel to toe.

Will the above board be a good one for me?

Also been looking at boots: Ride Jackson Boa Coiler.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Jeff

Burton Missions: awesome, have a pair, ride them a ton.
Ride Jacksons: also awesome, wore them for a good 2 seasons before they fell apart (which, most will tell you, is a very long time for boots to last for someone who rides 40+ days a season)

Can't speak to the burton superhero but looks like you're set for hardware. Now...on to apparel...
