If you really want to snowboard but don't know what gear to buy, here's our best advice:
Snowboards:
You should get a board that fits not only according to your height and weight, but your performance level. They all look the same, but each board has a different flex and intended use.
Beginning riders should size their board to the chin and it should have a softer flex. This makes it easy to turn the board and is more forgiving.
More advanced riders are better off with a board that comes up to their nose or eyes and has a stiffer flex to handle higher speeds. The exception to this is someone that wants a park board, which is softer and shorter than normal.
