Which Snowboard should I get?

Question

I am 6'3", male, US 12 size shoe/boot. I have a board that is shorter than my recommended height (reaches up to my neck). I plan to learn on this board, then later trade it in for a better one. I have a budget of around 400-500$. Like I said, I have my a shorter board to trade in, so I guess thats a bonus 100 bucks or so to my budget. Also, I want a decent quality board that I can use for tricks if I want to (A Burton would be sweet). Thanks!

Answer 1

I have been riding my burton custom for 3 years, and this year they came out with a wide version of the custom for people with a little bigger feet, Sounds to me that the burton custom wide would be perfect for you and your size 12 feet.

Answer 2

Hands down, Salomon.   I have owned 4 different brands of boards, I'm 30 years old and have been riding for nearly 20 years in Utah.   I will never own anything but a salomon.   I should add... If I absolutely HAD to buy something different it would be a Burton.

Answer 3

all of burtons boards are really good, and mostly under 500 dollars. i suggest for freeride: the clash, custom and custom ICS. for freestyle: blunt, blunt primo (exclusive board, hard tof ind) and the shaun white (500$). use http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-gui... for sizing, because you didnt list your weight.

good luck
