What snow board to buy for first board?

Actually a lot beats a Burton if you actually look into the different companies and know something about them and not just which one is the biggest. Since this is your first board, you want an all mountain board because it is usually the most "neutral" in what it is made for. You never know what you'll get into so why limit yourself with what board you have? I'm a big fan of K2 so I'd suggest the K2 Select and they make it in a wide version. It is decently priced, I bet you could even find last years model for 300 or maybe even less, especially because the wide versions don't sell as quickly as others.

Definetly go w/burton They Rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in VT and their factory is 20 min. from my house. Go with their Shaun White board it rocks if ur on a budget then go with the Blunt or dominant. It also depends on what u ride.

Hey, nothing beats a Burton! I'd suggest the Custom or Custom Wide depending on your Want for feel and movement. Bindings are made to fit the same brand boot perfectly so i would stick with the same brandfor those too. Burton is the best I've ever found next to Atomic so check out that brand too.

Look at a Rome Machine
