Board recommendation for newbie - Snowboarding Forum

simby · 03-05-2010, 12:02 AM

Hey all. With it being end of season, there should be some good board sales so I'm looking to pick one up an all mountain board.

I've only been snowboarding a few times so I'm a newbie. I'm 5'8", 160 pounds, male. Based on snowboard length calculators, I should look for a board around 155 cm?

Which burton boards do you recommend? Preferably not too expensive as burtons are already relatively expensive compared to other brands.

Thanks!

I really like my Burton Custom. It's a great all-around board and you'll keep growing into it as you get better.
