Need some advice on snowboarding gear?

Question

Hey guys,

I am planning to check out some of our local shops tomorrow with the hopes of picking up some snowboard gear (boots, board, bindings) since they are beginning to have closeout sales.

I have only been snowboarding twice, and have been renting equipment. However, I don't want a really cheap beginner board, I want something that is good and will last.

Can someone tell me the best models/brands for:

-Snowboards

-Boots

-Bindings

I would like to keep my budget under or around $400. I realize I won't get an AWESOME snowboard for this, but it should get me something good.

Thanks

Answer 1

Burton on all of them it is a great brand and all of there merchandise is high quality!

Good luck!

Answer 2

Burton is my favorite snowboard brand but they are pricey if you want something good but a little cheaper I would go for a Marrow, Lamar or a 5150 board and boots I would get either DC or Vans. Vans being the cheaper choice and for bindings Burton but as above they are expensive as an alternate I would get Lamar bindings. Hope that helps!! have fun!!
