hey guys,

just started getting into snowboarding around the last year or so, and sick of borrowing friends boards so was wanting help on a type to buy. i don't know a whole heap about them, and I only go a couple times a year, being that im australian and the season isn't all that long..

what i do know though is i want something around a size 154, for powder slope kinda stuff and my budget is around $400-500aud without bindings, and possibly up to $700 with bindings... can anyone recommend a decent board for a cheap-medium budget?

thanks

burtons are cheap
do some research on the different types
and figure out which kind fits your style

endeavor makes real nice boards.

Forum or LIB tech

BUT

In australia you can only buy shitty boards unless you want to overpay for a good one. Because of trade agreements between the good brands and australia they wont ship via internet.


My advice is to buy american or canadian and use a freight foward to send it to you. You will save hundreds and not have to settle for piece of shit.

i've got a burton, i think it was 250ish, then some burtons custom bindings, they are sick imo. i think they were like 125, this all being 375USD. I carve down the mountain like a champ in style, cruise a sweet powder run when it snows hard, and play in the park on rails and boxes and meduim sized jumps. I have two other brothers one with a burton set up close to mine and one with some other weird heel slip in bindings-cool, but prefer burtons customs. and I cant remember his board brand. Anyhow, i've ridden them all, and have been most pleased with burton for price and function. Hope my ramble about snowboards helps, gl hf

what?

Forum young blood all the way. Best board hands down. Get last years design and you can get up to $100-$150 usd off. Absolutely wonderful board!
