Height @ 5ft 8 1/2
Weight @ 10stone / 140lbs
Price Budget: £250/£300
What I would like... I would like a board that will be okay just cruising down the mountain but be flexible enough to progress me into park stuff as I am thinking in the long run, I will be using it more at the dome than on holidays and the dome tend to have boxes / rails out etc.
I've looked at the Ride Kink people have said its really great for dome use but it may not handle to well just cruising on the mountain.
Any suggestions to stop my brain from timing out after looking at so many boards!! Its like you never know which one to have lol |

I'll punt a board for ya. I would normally say bataleon but the only one in that price range is the disaster and it's a jib board really so probably too soft for all mountain.
Maybe a salomon drift camber 156 (not rocker) mate has the rocker and it's noodle like, so soft. The camber is super cheap and hits the mark I would say. |

This looks like a decent shop out in Mayrhofen!
http://www.theseeker.at
They'll have some decent snowboards to hire/demo.
Have you got your boots!
Also the Billy Morgan video...he's on a Ride Kink and he's more than cruising  |

No I haven't got boots, I am getting a brand new set-up, I've hired boards for so many years I think its about time I had my own. I know I saw that vid, the trick was insane and I noticed he was on a Kink  |

I didn't like the raygun at sll. I had thought about the raygun as my first board and had seen it online at a good price. Went and demod it hated it.
Get to tsa and demo a few boards see what fits. |

Thanks guys I will do, I've been trying to do some research before i go but i guess you could think one thing before you go and find out the board that thought might suit you didn't suit you at all once demo'd.
Do I need to have book slope time for i can demo boards? at TSA |

| You have to try before you buy mate. My recommend for what you want, would be a Parkstar. |

| For park boards that can handle the mountain: Nitro T1, Signal Park Flat, Rome Reverb Rocker. Those are ones I've ridden this season and would definitely recommend. |
