This is an answer I gave to a similar question sometime ago:\n\nThe best option is to go to a resort that has a good Demo shop, that way you can try before you buy. If you can't do that go to a good board shop and not a big box store (like Big 5 or Copelands) as the people working at the board shop will probably have a better idea as to what they are talking about.\n\nYou're right, there are tons and tons of choices out there. When buying a board you need to ask yourself a few important questions.\n\n1.)How good am I?\n2.)How much do I ride?\n3.)Where do I ride?\n4.)What conditions do I ride most?\n5.)What type of rider am I?\n\nThese will help you determine what board is going to be best for you.\n\nBoards specs are confusing but I'll try and breakdown the important ones for you and what you need to look for in them.\n\nLength. There is no right or wrong length as different lengths are better for different styles of riding. Remember that your height has nothing to do with it as a board has no idea how tall you are. Most boards have a range of weights that they are suited for. Generally, a longer board is more stable and requires a bit more from it's rider to perform well and a shorter board is less stable but very easy to manuever. For the most part, freeriders who are riding powder or at very high speeds like a longer board and park riders (especially jibbers) like shorter boards for their reduced swing weight and extra manueverability. Off the top of my head I'd recommend a board no shorter than a 154 for you.\n\nWidth. This is possibly the most important measurement. How big are your feet? You should ride a board that is wide enough that your heels and your toes are just above their edges. If you have too much toe or heel drag you will hang up on your turns (excess toe drag leads to excess chin drag). If your board is too wide then it will increase the effort it will take to get the board over on edge. I've actually torn the arch of my foot riding a board that was too wide (yeah, it hurt). Go for the narrowest board possible as the performance gains of quick edge control far outweigh the minimal benefit the extra width will gain you in deep snow. It's a good idea to bring your boots with you to the shop to help with this.\n\nSidecut. When you look at a board you can see that the sides of it are cut in. If you use your imagination, you can see that this cut actually begins the arc of a circle. A board with more cut draws a smaller circle and is better suited for smaller turns. A board with less cut draws out a bigger circle for bigger turns. Generally, park riders like a board with more cut as they need that added manueverability to line up the features in the park. A freerider is usually riding faster and making bigger turns than a park rider so they usually go for a board with less cut. Also, a board with deeper cut can "hook" in powder a bit. Keep in mind that it is easier to get a longer turn out of a board with more cut than it is to get a shorter turn out of a board with less cut. (am I confusing you yet?)\n\nFlex. This is the most subjective part to buying a board. A stiffer board is much more stable and responsive but requires more attention from it's rider and will fatigue you more. A softer board is very comfortable and easy to ride but will not respond as well or be as stable, especially at speed. Jibbers like soft boards as they are less likely to hook up on the rails and freeriders like the response of stiffer boards. Most boards these days are built with a flex pattern, meaning that they can be stiff in a certain aspect and soft in another. A great park board will have a stiffer tip and tail for better pop and stability in landing but will have a soft torsional (side to side) flex that will help on the rails or when coming up a little short landing a spin. A great freeride board will be stiff in the tail and underfoot for better drive and softer in the tip to help turn

If you're not looking for much in a board and only have $50 to spend then it isn't too bad a deal. \n\nKeep in mind that, that board is at least 10 years old (and Solid stopped making boards and bindings when I was in high school so it could be as much as 13 years old) and I seriously doubt it has only been used 4 or 5 times in that time. There are no close up shots of the base and I'd like to see if it still has camber. Boards are all built so that they have camber and are not flat. As a board gets older it loses its flex and goes flat, this is bad. Even if it hasn't been ridden much a board that old can lose camber if it is just stored incorrectly.\n\nAlso, the company is Division 23. CCS is California Cheap Skates and is an online retailer, not a manufacturer of snowboards. Only the bag comes from them.\n\nI would look elsewhere. In snowboarding the saying "You get what you pay for" is very true. Save up so more money and do a little more research and get something better.

K2 makes great skis and snowboards. I love my K2 Zepplin. \n\nWithout knowing what board you bought (the model) I couldn't guess what kind of deal you got but it seems about right.\n\nYou should be stoked. You got a great board.

Jake, I buy all of my son's boards on EBay. Most large skate shops have an EBay account and they sell either complete boards or just decks for very reasonable prices. Shipping is typically around 11.00. Good luck finding a new one.

I would have to say boardhouse or mongoose but there really is a matter of preffrence in finding a good board like some ppl like 1 sk8board while otheres like another hope my answer helped

wal-mart may be awesome for alot of stuff....but NOT SKATEBOARDS!!!! The quality is the worst. The boards break, and they move in "slow motion". online would be your best bet if you have no skate shops around. It will probably cast around $180. depending on if you buy a complete or buy the parts seperately.

why don't you so a search on EBAY to find out what similar boards are going for....that should give you an idea.

I thought i already answered this question? but ok.\n\nFoundation is really good less known brand, and good for experienced skaters\n\nZero was the first pro board i ever skated... they are really good to skate and have good pop\n\nA lot of people have told me that Alien Workshop are really good. I skated it once, and it seemed pretty good, but i wouldnt know 100%. \n\nenjoy

Wtf... if you don't want "blank decks"... i think there are 3 main good brands of decks... Personally, my favorite deck is Zero. They have good pop, good designs, and easy to get used to... i have skated with zero basically my whole skating life...\n\nThe next board i like to use is foundation. Foundation is really good for street skating, but it is for experienced skaters. It is kinda wide board, so if you havn't skated for long, dont try out on a foundation.\n\nThe next board, is one ive heard about through other people give it props. Which is Alien Workshop. A lot of people have told me that they are the best all around decks, but im not sure, ive only skated them a couple of times\n\nStay away from blind [FLIMSY!!!],  birdhouse [heavy and hard to ollie with], and element [massly built cheaply].

Bauer and CCM for skates get either bauers or maybe vectors Vectors are nice. For stick, go for one made of fiber glass.
