I'm looking into a new board and i am not too sure on what brands are reliable and which aren't.

Right now im kind of sold on a Rossignol (Link Below) and i just dont know whether i should put that kind of money towards a board thats going to end up being total shit. I dont know...if any of you have had a rossignol let me know what you thought of it.

Most snowboarding companies don't make garbage. I'd stay away from stuff like 5150 and Lamar as they tend to make cheaper stuff that won't last as long. If you buy a big name brand like Rossignol or Burton or Rome or K2, you probably won't get anything that is inherently bad. So long as you buy a board that matches your style.

There are some boards out there that are stand-outs, but there aren't many that are below par.
