Dunno if its been said...But would like to add

If you go to your local shop for advice, find a board thats right for you and then buy it on the net from a site thats a few quid cheaper - Shame shame

I'll be buying my board from TSA at Cas.
My bindings too.
All mountain board for less than £250 and bindings for less than £150.

Sorry, I hadn't spotted this. We do have a FAQ section already, so might simply add most of Charlie's good work to that.

Height: 178 cm
Weight: 62 kg
Prefered snowboarding style: Freestyle
Your snowboarding skill level: Intermediate
Our recomended snowboard length: 152 cm

Im just wondering is that right for a freestyle board? For that Height and Weight, I went for intermediate because I don't want to buy a novice board then quickly have to buy another, or should I just go for expert sizing straight away?

Yeah I think so, it's more weight than height and you're pretty light.
