What type of snowboard should i get?

• This year i am going to start snowboarding for the first time. Im not sure about how tall and wide the snowboard should be. I also dont know what type of brand i should get. I am still growing. Currently i am 5 foot 6. Over the last summer i grew six inches and i dont know if that will happen again.

• Answer:

  dont get too much of a beginner board. I started three years ago, and im now sponsored by several companies. when i started this guy told me to get a foam core 5150 board, i was already to good for it after a week of snowboarding. I dont know your weight, and shoe size, so its hard to give specifics, but it probably say a 145-150 would be good size. And start with a rocker board, much more forgiving and easier. Camber is a lot easier to catch your edges on. Burton clash or bullet are good boards. Bindings dont really matter for beginners because there is no specific type of riding your going to be doing. if you want to be a bad ***, then get a technine, bataleon, or a lobster and try a triple cork on your first day. nevermind, thats terrible advice. just never stop shredding. i hated it at first, and now i have won lots of competitions.
