What was your first snowboard? - Page 2 - Snowboarding Forum

First setup was a Lamar snowboard with some low end K2 bindings.

The board lasted me many years, I beat the shit out of it on school trips and backyard jumps but it held up fine. The base was incredibly slow and it was too stiff but I still had fun on it. It got me into the sport.

2007 Volkl Summit 158 ,fun very wide cambered board, directional , setback 30mm.I still ride it from time to time and never see anyone on one, ever.
The bindings were crappy Heads that once you strapped in, you needed a knife or screwdriver to release the buckles.These were quickly replaced with some Cartels which made actual riding possible.

it was most likely a Barfoot

edit: just saw your last post, lol

First board was a burton elite 155 with k2 cinch bindings. Super stiff but overall not a bad board to learn on. Rode it for 4 seasons then I got smart and decided I wanted to progress in the park and got my horrorscope FK

I had a Black Snow 'Legend', damn thing didn't even come with edges - you had to go to the 'Edge' to get that luxury. My dad wanted to save $20 so he bought me the one without edges which I affectionately refer to it now as the 'Cafeteria Tray' because I had about as much control with a cafeteria tray as I did with that abomination. All you could really do was point and shoot. Broke my tailbone pretty damn good on that POS. Good times.
