First Time Buyer please give me advice - Snowboarding Forum

So I decided to finally purchase a set. I've done a little research and come up with a few different choices. Tell what you guys think. I'm mostly concerned about the board. I want a relatively cheap one but that would treat me well once I get more experienced. Thanks guys

can't really tell you much on the boards without knowing your desired style of riding, the rest sounds good.

Oh yea, sry mostly freeriding.

salomon strobe, neversummer heritage, unity dominion/rise, k2 eldorado/zeppelin, rossignol scope/storm would all be good choices. the never summer has a 3 year warranty and the unity has a two year warranty. and try to get something around 158-160

heads up on the bindings: if you don't mind last year's models, my local dick's sporting goods had them for $95, and there was a $10 off coupon for anything over $50 that expires tomorrow, so I'd look there.

Oh, and the Coors web site has a NeverSummer board for ~150 + 15 shipping I think, 160cm. Basic board, but its a cheap price for a NeverSummer form what I've heard.

Heres the board...too long for me, and it looks sick...cept well, for the coors logo. (don't drink so its like bleh to me =])
