If not, try a rental or used first. Some would probably say try a board with a bit of flex with bindings and boots geared towards beginners. Bindings and boots geared towards beginners will have a little more "give" that will compensate sloppier riding. When you get the hang of the basics and improve on them you will definatley know what you need specifically for a set-up (fine tuning and complimenting your abilities). Brands like Lamar (LTD up here in Canada) should even have a "colour-code" system (ie Bronze, Silver, Gold) to help you out and their products tend to be very low cost and of OK quality. After a season or two of riding, you will know yourself enough and what you require when it comes time to get that "brand X" board for an ungodly amount of money. My first board was a Gnu Stupid Cap from the 90s that I picked up at a used sporting goods place. I now have a total of 3 boards for myself, 2 boards for my wife, 2 boards for my son, and will be selling our 8th board on ebay soon. One of my boards (the Gnu...I LOVE that board) I keep at work so I can go boarding during my lunch break, and all my boards are outfitted with Drake bindings because I like the response I get from them. |

I've seen on some ski shop's web sites that they'll let you rent a demo
board. It's a bit pricier that a regular rental, but it'll help you decide want kind of board, binding, and boots are best for your skill level. Eman " wrote in message ...

This post was created by Jeffrey Culler of Skiersboard. He is wasting our time for his own personal gain in business. The Skiersboard business is unethical and if he persists I will publish all I have on this fraudulent business.
Look him up. Stop wasting our time. Quote:
