My name is Isaac, I live out in the northwest. I'm new to the forum and rather still pretty new to snowboarding in general.
I'm about to buy my first board and I wanted to know what you all recommend for size. I am 6 ft. athletic build, 185 pounds. Size 11 boots if that matters. I pretty much snowboard as a hobby and just want something I can cruise down the mountain on.
Any mid-flex board with rocker in the middle should do. Same sz range highme mentioned, but don't need to search specifically for mid-wide. Normal width at those lengths should be ok.
Rocker in the middle because it is more forgiving and floaty than camber in the middle.
Look for a few boards that match ^ and get back with some that catch your eye... people will give you better feedback once you've narrowed your choices a bit.
Personally, for a first board to someone who boards on a region that gets some snowfall (ie not totally icy conditions) i think Burton Custom Flying V with Mission, Cartel or Malavita bindings...
If I wanted to go cheaper so I can grab a lift pass would something this work for board/bindings? I'm not too picky. It says it is camber/rocker/camber profile... Not sure what all that means.
Odd the image didn't port over. It's a 2015 system mtn package. Boots bindings board for 300$. I'm not rich and would like to save as much as possible.
You guys are too cool. Thanks for the stoke and the support. It is greatly appreciated.
Hi Isaac,
The System MTN is a new board of ours for 2015. The 159 will be awesome for you as a do everything PNW board. Let me know if you have any questions on this one or any other boards.
I would not be surprised if this season...and this forum...turn you from a casual cruiser to a crazed snow fiend
