A little bit about me. I'm 6 feet, 153 lbs. Size 11.5 boot.

I'm looking for a board that can basically do it it all. I will mainly be carving, and taking it in the park for a little bit.

Not looking for huge speed, but not looking for only park also, just something that does everything.


What is the best board that can really do everything, that I can use for a while and it will be a good investment?

I'm willing to spend money here, but not over $500 I think.

At your measurements, you are looking for a length within the general range of 155-159. A 156 or 157 would be a great all-around board size for you. Is your foot size your snowboard boot size or regular shoe size? At 11.5 snowboard boot size, you could do a normal or wide board. You are borderline. Some boards come in mid-wide which would be nice for you as well. None of this will be a deal breaker for you though so don't concentrate too much on that. With that said, some recommendations :)

This one is rockered and is totally up to you. It is a different type of construction than traditional boards. I don't hesitate to recommend rockers to new riders because it is harder to catch an edge on these.
