Board for hefty newbie!
Hi all,
I'm very new to snowboarding, with six hours of lessons and a few hours of recreational riding under my belt (at the Castleford Snodome, not on a mountain). I'm planning to go boarding "properly" in March and would be grateful for some advice on what board to buy - I'm 6'3 and 240lbs with size 13 feet so I'm told I'll need something wide and fairly stiff. I have been looking at a wide Burton Cruzer but am told that I'll outgrow it quickly and as I'm getting really into boarding, I don't want to have to shell out for another board a year down the line. Thanks Steve |

You can resell if next year if all works out well. And this way you don't commit a lot of cash to something that might not be right. |
