hi guys I'm heading off to the slopes for 5 days at the end of January and was hoping to get a board sorted before i went so i didn't waste a day while out there.

There seems to be so many types, sizes, shapes and colours to pick from i was looking for a bit of advice.

I have skied for 3 weeks before but have always wanted to take up boarding.

i want something that is going to be nice to learn on but will still last me for a while.

I'm sure I'm not gonna be doing any massive tricks this time but I've always enjoyed a bit of skating so may progress down that side of it in the end.
(not sure if this leads me to freestyle or free-ride?)

don't mind picking up a second hand one off ebay.

im;
21 yrs old
size 9 feet
5 foot 10" tall
weigh 9 stone. (yes im a skinny bugger)


i will be needing board, boots, bindings, bag and anything else?

Is there any out there that really stand out?

thanks for any advice.
Dave.
