so, I started snowboarding this season for about 2 months now. Now I'm extremely addicted.. I love the sport and wanna start buying my own gears instead of renting and all. would any of you snowboarders out there would like to recommend a brand of board or what kind of board i should buy? what's good and what's not..
I looked into some on ebay, found some for about 89 bucks but I don't know if thats a good investment or a good board at that.. kindasad.gif

oooooh, i almost bought an M3 board instead of my GNU. Sweet decks. Personally, I think some of the best value boards are K2/Ride, Lib-tech/GNU, and i did like the burton custom i rode better then the jp walker forum board i rode. I would also really like to get an OPTION board. out of what i have riden, i like my GNU choice the best. If your a beginner, geta board with a little bit of give, in my experience, good freestyle boards provide said give and limit the speed a wee bit. For boots, i have tried many from low end to super high end. My favorites are by far my burton boots. they are cheap too. i recomend a medium-good quality board. COMFORTable boots, and some medium-stiff bindings. I personally like K2 bindings as they are cheap, luight and effective. Basically dont skimp out on the deck. save your money on the other areas, i.e. boots and bindings. But beware with the boots, make sure they are good comfy boots, you can find them at a good price, but there are alot of ****ty boots out there, be carefull. OH, and buy second hand if you can, save $$$. And in my experience, sims boards are no good. I had a sims daytona at one point, didnt care for it much. also depends on what kind of riding your going to do, Big mountains:lots of powder, or half pipe/.terrain park, a little of both maybe. Go to a board shop and talk to someone there, they should be able to show you some options in your price range and taste. and i highly recomend a wide board for feet sizes 10 and up.
