boots are all about Ur foot type
u really need to spend the money on boots first
then board, than bindings
if u do not have comfortable feet u will not be able to ride all day
i like ride team bindings, just because they are all metal and have never failed me yet after 5 years
boots, i use the k2 t1's just because they fit me the best, north-wave is another great brand, Burton make good boots but on my foot they were too wide
boards, i could go on for days
the wider the board the more stable it is, and will float over the crude and powder
the key to any snowboard is a very sharp edge and a good wax job

you should be able to find a nice setup..but just make sure you wear the boots for awhile so you know you will be gellin when you ride
