Im looking to buy a new snowboard online, i have been about 10-15 times over the past few years and have grown out of my old gear.
i dont know too much about which companys make good gear etc.
i have about a $300 limit on the board itself and will need to get bindings and boots probably at a store so i can make sure the boots fit.

these are the boards i have limited it to based on looks and aproxomite sizing (im 5'10 150lbs) and was wondering which you guys think would be the best purchase for me
currently I am leaning towards the Sapient (with the Rossignol and Forum in 2nd), just based on looks though as idk about performance
any and all help/info is great!

what style of snowboarding do you usually do?

edit:

If you're willing to try a new company look at RAMP snowboards especially this board

or these

It all depends on what style of riding u wanna do


If ur looking to board park, look at libtech, they are innovating ahead of the game and have some gnarly boards if u can find 1 within ur price range



for sizing ide say around 152 if ur gonna be jibbing and riding park alot

up to 156 if ur gonna be riding more all mountain(Park and Mountain equally)

bigger slightly is for if ur gonna be riding pow, carving, bombing hills, etc. Unless u get a reverse camber u can get a shorter board in pow.
