Buying First snowboard

Posted: 28 August 2012 02:50 AM

I’m buying my first snowboard and would like advice as to which snowboard I should buy. I would like to find a board that fits me and that I can keep for a while.
Here’s about me:
-I’m 6’ 160 pounds
-I’ve been snowboarding for 7 years but I would consider myself and experienced rider.
-I don’t do park at all but I will do any run on the mountain and beat anyone I’m with down the mountain.
-I Like to go really fast and carve on groomed runs, ride moguls, and ride in powder.
-The perfect board for me would be responsive enough to be quick on moguls and have enough control to do fast carves on groomed runs without having to worry about it slipping out.

Let me know of any suggestions you have on which board you think I should get.

If money doesn’t really matter to you and you’re a really ambitious freerider, then you should have a look at those boards:
NeverSummer Raptor
Palmer Crown

If you think those two boards might be a little too much, yet, you might like the idea of the K2 Slayblade.
