So I've gone boarding twice now and I love it. last time I went it was late in the day and it was busy. I think I got what ever rental equipment was left because it felt that the bindings were hanging far off the back, one ankle strap was all the way tight and still didn't feel great.
I was going to put off buying equipment but, after that experience, i would like to get is sooner rather than later. I am 5'11", about 190lbs.
For boots i am going with Flow Helios Focus. I tried Burton Highline and Ambush, DC Control, and the Flow in stores. The flow felt most comfortable and stable. (11.5 in US is my size)
After reading and asking a few friends, I have decided to go with an Arbor Formula board. I will size it up in store. I'm assuming 158-161 cm.
Now the bindings are my problem. If I buy this package together at the store, i can look at a better price. That leave my binding choice at Flow or Flux. I don't care about entry style. Are the Flow as stable as traditional bindings? I am going with flow boots so I would guess going with their bindings would be a good idea...
Nasty, is it a must have?
Fusion or Hybrid?
Stability VS traditional bindings?
I am new so some of the technology isn't a big deal to me but I want something I can learn on and keep using for the years to come.
Thank you in advanced.
