  • Answer:

    You definitely should pick up a new set up because I'm sure you've progressed quite a bit. Definitely stay away from the LTD, Lamar 5150, Morrow stuff as that's all entry level equipment. Fine to learn on, but there's a lot more you can get out of your equipment now that you know what you're doing. As for which boards to get, no one should really be suggesting boards until they know more about your riding style. Where do you like to ride? All mountain, groomers, park, pipe? How aggressive are you? ect. There are alot of things you should really consider before you buy something. Take a look at this buying guide as a good starting point. http://www.snowboards.net/docs/buying-guide-snowboards-2/ There are also guides on buying boots and bindings as well that should help. After that, utilize things like rider reviews and product reviews to get an idea of what it is your looking at. Here's a link to something that allows you build a package based on skill level. http://www.snowboards.net/mens-packages/c1000004240/ From there you just need to decide what type of board you're looking at. I hope this all helps and good luck!

I picked up a GNU magna traction last year and have nothing but good things to say, and the price was reasonable. It has been a good all around board in the park and in most snow conditions. I also bought a pair of Thirty-Two boots and they are very light and comfy, again the price was right too. I ran into a guy in Colorado an he gave me a binding pack to check out. It works good and I cant even tell its on my board. http://hybridbindingpack.com/

Go with a quality wide board like a Lib tech, Bataleon, K2, Rome, GNU, Never Summer, there are more out there those are just some of my faves. As far as bindings go get unions maybe rome or ride bindings if your a little more freestyle but you can't go wrong with union I'm 6'4" 220 I ride a bataleon gloiath 157 for park with union forces and I love it. You might wanna demo a couple set ups cuz snowboarding is very personal and there is really no right or wrong set up its just what gives you the most comfort and response. Happy shreddin homie!!!!!

You should get about a 162cm wide board. I would recommend a Capita or O-Matic board because you seem kind of frugal. If you can spare some money get a Lib Tech board. I would recommend the Lib Tech TRS. Also, get some L/XL Union cadets, if you want to spend a bit extra get some forces. For boots get what ever feels comfortable, in that size selection is limited so pick carefully. One of my friends has size 14 feet and he says the only boots he can find in his size are Burton motos.
