Default Snowboard for a 6'4" 300pound man boy? *Now with PIC*

Iam considering buying a board instead of renting when I go to Colorado this winter. What are the suggestions, I've been told you want the board the same length as your height and get one rated for your weight and that is about it. Anything else I should look for? Or a good place besides ebay to get a board?

It's ok Mike, most ------s aren't really from Africa anyway.

if you are just starting out, a progressive cut, relatively longer board will help you w/ stabitlity

I rid a 152 twin cut little teeny thing.

it is the difference between driving a caddilac (big wide stable board)

and driving an ITR (my little nimble thing)

you can ride anything, but i suggest a decently sized assymetrical board for you to start on.

perfect board for you, cheap, well sized from a reputable company, they also sell boots and bindings and pants and jackets and whatever you need there
