What burton snowboard should i get?

Burton Operator. its a good all around board. depending on your weight you can either get the wide or the regular one (if your really heavy get the wide one). it looks nice and is probably the best board you can buy for under 500 dollars (unless you buy an old board, some ski shops will sell 2 or 3 year old models of certain boards for really cheap) but if you want to go a little cheaper then the burton hero (50 dollars less) is just as good. pretty much the only difference is the design. one slight difference is that the Hero is a little more "forgiving". it has a little less curve in the shape so you wont fall as easily, the you will be able to carve better with the Operator.
