Anybody ride a wide board, if so what kind do you have? Any suggestions for a begginer board, but at the same time something I don't have to trade in for soon. I want something that I can grow with. <br /><br />Also all these websites that are on the net. Keep repeating the same shops and they're all sold out. There's gotta be some smaller shops on the net. I keep getting returns on Dogfunk, Doghouse, Back Country, REI etc......

I bought my gear at REI, I couldn't pass up the deal they had with the membership savings and their return policy 100% garauntee satisfacation. Reminds me of Costco policy. I can return no hassle if Im not satisfied with the product even after the 30 day return/exchange. So that was cool/ sold me on it. <br /><br />I ended spending a little more than what I origianlly budgeted myself on my gear. But I think in the long run it would be better. I was expecting to buy a board under $300 and bindings in the $150 range. But I like the features on my gear and can't go wrong with Burton too. I ended up spending $550. This is my first snowboard gear setup. So hopefully it helps me out in my learning stage. Here are the pics:<br /><br /> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b374/venomized/BurtonKingSnowboard.jpg" alt=" - " /> <br /><br />Here is a better picture of the bindings I got.<br /><br /> <img src="http://s7ondemand1.scene7.com/is/image/MoosejawMB/10025675x1018755_zm?$product475$" alt=" - " /> <br /><br />I can't wait to snowboard next weekend. By the way what are your guys thoughts on helmets and goggles and snow clothing gear? I still need to get some of those items.
