first snowboard - Snowboarding Forum

Hi everyone. I am really getting into snowboarding, and I want to buy my own snowboard, instead of renting them out everytime. Only problem is, there is no shop near me meaning I need to buy online. And Im dirt poor. If anyone could name me a dirt cheap complete that would be simply wonderful.

Currently, I am thinking of getting this Amazon.com: Avalanche Glacier Men's Snowboard Package w/ Boots & Bindings: Sports & Outdoors. However, I dont know what size boots to buy. I wear size 11 shoes, so does that mean I should get 10 or 11 size boots or are snowboard sized boots different?

Alternativly in skateboarding there is a thing called blank decks. They are skateboards manufactured by companies but sell for much less because they have no graphics. Do such things exist in the world of snowboarding?

If you want to be extremly awsome, you can tell me of any cheap items.

My snowboard size is 150-155cm
my shoesize is 11.

Thank you so much for helping my little noob self.

try getting an last years burton custom complete or something. If there is anything near your house you should drive because they might be able to give you a really good deal on an old board and they will give you some advice. Check craigs list for some old boards that people just outgrew and dont have a sibling.
