What is your Ht, Wt, and shoe size?
What size board are you looking at?
I'll make some recommendations from that info.
seems like good pricing.
I believe I'm looking at 158 for size. The Royale is a mid-wide so I'm not sure.
A little shy of 5'10" and weigh 160lbs which could go to 170ish. Just depends where I am in a strength training cycle.

Shoes are usually a 10 but they side I need to use the Burton size system. I've worn rentals in size 10 but two pairs of socks(unnecessary I believe) and 9's with thick wool socks but they felt a little small.

THat all sounds good for your dimensions. Another thing to remember is boots never get smaller they usually pack out and strech a little, so if they are a little tight when you try them on expect them to loosen up just a bit. Always try to wear one sock.
FYI: TJ Maxx is a good place to go for softgoods (goggles, socks, gloves, sometimes pants and jackets) Albeit a little late in the year now though.

Thanks for the info and the tip.. I'm pretty good on soft goods. I picked up some new first layer stuff on clearance at kmart and have a bunch of stuff I use for hunting in the winter. Do need second pair of gloves since it takes a couple days for them to dry out.

Well..I ended up getting nothing I planned to get. So the final setup is:

Board: Burton Air
Bindings: Burton Mission(White + Gold)
Boot: Burton Boxer (Black)

About $105.00 more than the original plan but nice upgrades.
