Looking for a snowboard?

Question

Im an intermediate and i only go snowboarding about 3 times a season and was wondering wats a cheap but yet a decent board i could buy.

Answer 1

Do NOT buy a Burton snowboard.  They are no good.

Answer 2

Burtons and romes are good id kill for ether one

Answer 3

hmmm... try Dickz Sporting goods

Answer 4

If you only go three or so time a season then i probably wouldnt get a new board. i would consider buying a friends old one or something like that. snowboards arent cheap and if you only wanna spend 50 dollars its not worth it. bindings can be found on porterstahoe.com, i would look at the burton freestyle+; they are about 50-75 dollars..i cant remember... i got them when they first came out and i used them for two years until i had to buy a bigger binding. boots are most commonly around 100 to 125 dollars and boards go anywhere from (for a decent one) 200 to 1000 dollars plus.

Answer 5

I really like the Ride Control and the Ride Agenda. They're pretty cheap, especially if you buy last year's model, it will DEFINITELY be in your price range.

Answer 6

I have a Burton Charger, it is what many places use as their rental boards so they are durable.  I love it as it's very versatile for all types and levels of snowboarding.  Look on eBay and buy a used one - I got mine for about $50.

Answer 7

I would suggest getting a previous year clearance price on a new board from a top manufacturer. You don't say what kind of riding you do, but you can always find summer clearance sales (50% off) at many different places:

Freeride: Ride, K2, Nitro, Burton

Freestyle: Rome, K2, Gnu, Lib Tech

Hey dude check out these boards here... they are all 50% off and are shipped free in the US. I wouldnt really recommend buying something used because chances are it will not be the right size or style for you. Check out the Palmer P-Line, i think it is the best value in  snowboarding. http://www.sierrasnowboard.com/snowboard... Email me if you have anymore questions and i will be happy to help
