Hi !
I finally got the money to buy a new snowboard, but I can’t deside which !
Currently I own a Stuf snowboard of some kind, but I think that this is just a beginner’s board. But is it ? Am I going to feel a difference if I buy a new and more expencive board?
And sinsce I live in Norway, maybe I should go for an all mountain board, or could I go for a park board ? Personally I think that I would prefer the more playfull cind, because I would really like getting good in pipes and at jumps !
Please, give me some advice ?
PS: This is the snowboard I currently own.

ummm… do idea what board that is - but if those bindings are the right size for your feet then you definitely need to go with a much wider board… or am i not seeing that image right?

Not sure if Norway gets a lot of icy conditions, but if it doesn’t I’d recommend the Burton Custom Flying V. It made a huge difference, compared to my old Rossingol board (8 yrs old). The new tech in general seems to make a huge difference compared to older boards, so I would definitely upgrade. It makes boarding much more fun. Specifically I felt like I had improved 2-3 seasons worth in 4 hours with the Flying V. I gave it a pass because it didn’t hold an edge very well for me in the really icy conditions those of us in New England are accustomed to.
