since i am 5"11 around 160lb i am going to need a wide or mid-wide board.
the following brands have them never summer k2 ride or gnu which is most likely a suitable board for a beginner i got my eye set on the NS Revolver. thanks.

It’s a nice deck but it’s a lot of money to spend on your first board. You could probably get away with spending a little less and still getting a suitable board.

I’m guessing you want to learn park riding primarily?

i agree with the price tag on it. but like k2 and ride they are all made in china and dont have that good of a warranty on them.

i am looking to start out in the parks and then hit the trails, some fresh powder runs. is there something similar to the revolver you can recommend? thanks.
