Hey so I began snowboarding last year. I immediately fell inlove with it. I'm not the greatest but I have the basics down and i can carve down a hill no problem and I plan to go every weekend this season.
Anyways, my buddy gave me his old board to use but I would like to buy my own board this year.

Im 5'10
165pounds
Boot Size - 10
Style - Freeride

Apparently my size for a board is 157-159cm

My budget is about 5-600$. If you find a nice one for less that a plus.

Thanks in advance.

I was looking into this one, what do you guys think;

If you're just free-riding and not doing any park or freestyle, then take a look at the Rome Notch ;)

ide get about a 152 in length. bit Longer if u dont like park at all.

if ur gonna ride park try Libtech for good boards near the top of ur price range.


A burton Custom is also a good board u can get for a good price.

Jeremy Jones!!!!
Love his boards.
I have had one every season except one for the last 10 years. LOVE em. I get to ride a lot of boards too cuz my bro is a sponsored rider.
Nothing feels as good to me... it personal preference. This is what I have this season...
