Question

Im a really experenced skier and im geting bored with it so im switching to snowboarding. I have snowboarded like 5 times with a friends board but I want to get one for this up-coming winter. I need help with choosing the perfect snowboard for me in a good price range ($150-$300). thanks

Answer 1

few boards i would suggest:

Burton: Elite, Air, Royale, Custom

Forum: Stomper and Recon

Lib Tech: MC Kink

Ride: Control, Decade, Havoc

Rome: Solution, Crail, Manual

they're all more of an all-mountain board. you can ride the groomed runs and have some fun in the park with them.

i'd suggest grabbing one now if you can because they will be dirt cheap right now. i

Answer 2

It depends on what level you currently are ( begineer, Intermediate, advanced), and what type of riding you want to do (freestyle, freeriding, powder). As you are new to snowboarding you would be best off with an entry level all mountain board. All mountain boards are great as they can be used for all types of riding and terrain. Some good boards you should check out are Gnu Carbon High Beam, Forum Recon, K2 Select, Nitro Revolt, Burton Clash. All these boards are entry level so they will be easy to ride but still progressive enough to last you a while as you get better. Good luck with the riding.

Answer 3

a burton is cool and you ride very nicely
