What is the best snowboard for a begining snowboarder?

I am not a total beginner. I would like a snowboard that has real foot-locks and is fit for slopes at an a verage ski resort. Thanks!

    I would get a cheaper one until you know what you want to do and what conditions you’ll typically be boarding in. Once you get the feeling right, you should test other sizes of board to see how flexible and how wide you want it.

    There is no such thing as the best snowboard for a beginning snowboarder or best for any other thing for that matter. First get snowboard boots that fit really well. Then start looking for boards and bindings. As a beginner, you will not gain anything by getting a more expensive board, but with comfortable boots, you will have more pleasure (and therefore time) to develop your riding. Once you have those perfect boots, start looking at boards: brand does not matter much at this stage.

    I agree that paying the premium for a Burton as a beginner isn’t needed, but I would also stay away from the low end boards like Morrow, etc.

    There are several high end brands without the hype and price tag of Burton. My favorites are Ride and K2. I would suggest a Ride Control and Ride EX bindings as an excellent beginner combo that you can grow into as you get better.

    Good Luck

    All begineer snowboards these days tend to be cheap and good value for money. Even brands like Burton who overprice some of there more advanced boards sell there entry level boards at a pretty reasonanble price. Some good begineer boards that would suit you are
    Nitro Revolt
    Forum Recon
    Burton Clash
    Palmer Pulse
    K2 Select
    Gnu Carbon High Beam
    Although these boards are entry level boards they are still progressive enough to last you a while. For bindings just go for an entry level set id recommend Ride as the best other good brands to check out are K2, Flow, Drake, Good luck.
