Hi there. I am fairly new to boarding, having inherited my daughters' older Burton Feather 144, a super soft rocker board. I've progressed on the older Burton up to solid green, solid "more tame" blues rider, and can negotiate my way down steeper blues without too many issues. I'm a non...

I started snowboarding last week. I bought the season pass for Big Bear, i already went twice this week and I love it, so I plan on going more often. I have an old, beat up, Ride snowboard with old Vision bindings, bought it all for $30. The bindings have no high backs because they’re broken...

I'm 6' 180 lbs and I wear a size 12 shoe. I'm a beginner, but I'm really enjoying learning how to snowboard and I want to get my own board. I'm considering these two mainly because of price, but I can't find anything online about the brand and I don't want to get stuck with a bad board. I'd be...

Heya, I'm just starting out snowboarding (2 or 3 times) and I'm super excited about the sport. I've done a ton of research on board types and jargon and board characteristics and what have you, so I decided I didn't want to use rentals anymore and wanted to have my own board. I'm 6"3, around...
