Finally, my first board

Posted: 01 April 2012 05:02 PM

Hi there!

Another first board thread.
Ive been reading up a lot on boards as I want to make an informed decision but theres a lot
of terms that still won’t sink in. I’m still pretty confused when it comes to terms like camber and rocker
and the likes.

Anyway, I’ve been boarding for about 6 weeks and a few indoor encounters so I would call myself and intermediate boarder. I’m 168cm tall and weigh about 65kg.
I mostly board on the pistes but I definitely enjoy powder and the occasional box or small jump as well (no rails though)
So I probably better go for a directional all mountain board.
So far I’ve always rented boards and last season I was pretty happy with a smaller board. If I recall correctly is was 148.

Price isn’t a really big issue. I board about one week a year so I’d rather invest a little more money in something durable.
There"s also not a really particular brand which I favor so I’m pretty much open to any suggestions.
Some advice on which bindings to buy would also be nice!

Lastly, I’m looking for a good european webshop to buy all this :)

Thanks in advance!

After some searching I’ve come up with two choices in my size.

I got the Endeavor guerrilla 148 for 180 euro (50% sale) (not that fond of the graphic though)

And on the other hand I came up with Atomic Vantage 148 for 170 (32% sale)

Any thoughts on these?
