I am male
I am about 5'3
I am 14
I weigh about 116 pounds
I have about 10.5/11 size shoe
I ride regular
I am a beginner so choose what ever terrain you think I should get the board for (i.e. freestyle or park ect.)
I would like one of those packages (bindings,boots, and board)
I NEED IT AS CHEAP AS POSSIBLE without buying complete crap!

Honestly, your never going to get anything good buying a package. I would look at last years boards and bindings, first though, make sure you get boots that fit comfortably, probably the most important aspect of your setup is boots and you want them to be as comfortable as possible. For board and bindings, although I can't give any specific boards, I would get a wide because your feet will probably grow a bit more. You also want them to be softish just because it's generally thought of that it makes it easier to learn.
