Is Flow a decent brand for snowboards, bindings and boots?

Question

I'm looking around for a board to buy. I've been snowboarding once before and I rode a scratched hire board. I've seen a good deal for a Flow package, so is it worth it?

Answer 1

I personally don't like flow bindings.

Answer 2

Alright, I ride the flow nxt at bindings and I love them, I'm always the first one strapped in, you don't even need to stop, they are also pretty responsive, and have handled everything I have tried.

only thing to keep in mind is that you want to do regular check ups ( tightening nuts and bolts, nothing major)

before that I rode some older flight 2s, which where great, more durable, but not very responsive, which was fine becasue I wasn't doing much more than kiddy jumps and boxes.

before that I had some traditional bindings I had gotten when I was first learning, which really sucked.

So to rap up the bindings, they work great, and they have models for any skill level

then the boards, I haven't rode one before, but I have a couple buddies who have both been riding 7 years +, and they have rode a ton of boards, and they both really likes the boards, one has the 08 quantum, and he kills the park with it

then boots, sorry I can't really halp you out with this one, I've never used them, only dc and 32's and i don't know anyone that does have them.

Answer 3

it rly depends on ur riding preference if u like the traditional strap ins go with burton if u like the easy slide in yet responsive than go with flow. flow boards arents that amazing tho if ur gonna get something with flow go for the bindings there pretty good the boots still need a lot of work and the boards u just cant compare them to other companies like ride, rome ect... there not good

Answer 4

yes they are

Answer 5

90% of the people out there that are bad mouthing Flow have never even riden the gear. To start with never buy your boot off the web. Go in and try the boots on. Take your time and find a boot that fits and works for you. If price is the bottom line, there are plenty of inexpensive boots that will work, but TRY them on before you buy! Flow boards have won TransWorld Snowboardings Good Wood award three years in a row. Granted they are not the biggest companie out there but the boards are great. As for the bindings its a personal thing, but as an over all recomandation they work amazing. Very comfortable, hold extreamly well and give you great feel for the board and snow. Down side they are a bit heavy comparied to standerd straped bindings. Snowboarding is all about self expression. Ride what you like and enjoy. Being worried about whats cool and what looks good will get you nowhere on the mountain. Make up your own mind. all in all Flow works! but don't take my word, try it yourself!

Answer 6

Flow has a cool design for bindings but really not that functional, I don't like flow at all, I don't like there boards or there bindings. Its all personal preference really. You can get a great deal on really any setup right now, BUt i would recomend anyone NOT go with flow. Id go with burton bindings and k2 rome or burton Snowboard. thats just me

Answer 7

The bindings are really personal preference, some people like them and others don't - some of my friends that have them love the easy entry. The boots are good quality, if they fit get them! The boards are just average quality and if this is your first setup it should be a great setup - IF the boots fit perfectly.

Good Luck
