Help! Snowboard Newbie?
My friend convinced me to join our schools snowboard club.
I have never snowboarded in my life and i dont know anything about it.
I'm around 5'6 feet and 120 pounds. Shoe size is between 8-9.
i do wakeboard, so is this going to help me with snowboarding?
Also what gear do i need? - im buying not renting.
Size board?
Anything i need to know about snownboarding?
And any tips?
since your a wake boarded i think it gives you a great advantage.... ive been snowboarding for years and went wake boarding for the first time this summer and i was jumping the wake, throwing grabs and riding switch my first day out there
on the gear end you would need board, bindings, boots, goggles, gloves, jacket and pants
ironiclly even though im a guy i am aswell 5'6' i am 129 lbs and i am a 9.5 shoe so you about my size
i would go with a 148-151 size board to start with then go shorter if ur more park or longer for more speeding... stay in the middle for all mountain
I would recommend any Lib Tech or Gnu snowboard they make the best boards out rite now with either Union or Ride Bindings
Boots I would go with ThirtyTwo's
Take a lesson or do what I did go to the top of one of the hardest trails drunk and wing it.... Otherwise be safe and have fun!
