I am looking to buy my first snowboard + bindings.
I have been snowboarding for aprox 6 years (2-3 weeks a year) on rental boards just to push up my skill before buying a board.

Now, i am looking for a setup that is made for all-terrain. Mostly high speeds, agressive turns, fast response and able to take a few minor jumps and bumps for if i go deep woods.

For bindings, my favor is currently going towards M9s or M11s by FLOW.
The torsion stiffness is a huge plus and gives me a feeling of fast response without delay..
Now M9s should be just above my level, and 11s should last me a bit longer, so thinking of getting 11s.

What type of board should i get with this?
Im looking at a mid-wide since i have boot size 12 and hate scraping toes while carving the steep.
I was looking at a board that gently sets in a turn and then pics up agressive comming out. So the tips shouldnt be too thick or stiff..
And i want it to fit the M11s and be about the same overall stifness. So both parts have about the same response.. If anything, the board has to outdo the bindings by a bit.

Looking at a price range up to 600 euros. ($900 USD) for the board.


Also, anyone have a good boot that fits a flow? so no wide nose boots, preferably with a BOA coiler.

Thanks for all the help.

anyone?

Hmm I usually stick to park so I may not be giving you the best options but here is a few I would suggest taking a look at.

Hope I helped.

Hey thanks for the board advice,

The ride yukon looks nice and so does the Nitro.
Will have to see if i can get a hold of these for a preview.. i wanna hold and flex the board to see how stiff they are.

About the BOA boots, i have large slim feet that are pretty high, the BOA's i wore last year, cant remember the model were very well fit, i think they were burtons.

Ty much for the board advice.
