What is the best snowboard brand besides burton?

lib tech and rossignol my bro

Burton isnt all that fabulous (read: besides the vapor and custom x, its overrated). A few good ones from personal experience include Ride, Forum and K2 (particularily K2 as it is the board I plan on getting after dumping my old Rossi, which I have kinda grown attached to).

It's always pretty tough to judge an entire snowboard brand. It really depends on the kind of riding that you are into and even then it's tough to say what's best. At the end of the day you're going to find the board that's best suited to you and your riding style and although you may want to start to with some of the more reputable brands I wouldn't worry so much about which particular brand you end up in.

Ride is a really good brand, some of their newer boards are really good. Check some out here. http://www.ridesnowboards.com/home.asp?Lang=English Rome boards are also great quality- I've heard good things about them. Check them out. www.romesnowboards.com You could also go for Arbor (www.arborsports.com) Libtech (www.lib-tech.com) I thought that (www.eternalsnow.com) gives you a good overview of your choices, & they are pretty well priced, but it is probably a good idea to get your board in a store, so you can measure the right size for you.. Although I think Burton is OK, they are a tad overrated. But whatever you choose, I'm sure it will turn out great. Good luck. :]

"Some good makes i can recommend through experience are Ride, Rome, Forum, Gnu, K2, Atomic. " Ride, Gnu and Forum, yes. Rome, K2 and Atomic; CRAP. Might I add NeverSummer. EXCELLENT boards!!!!!!
