Vermillion,

Height/Weight/Shoe Size/Stance (Goofy or Regular). For the whole shabang (board, boots, bindings) you're looking at about $350-$600. We don't sell starter equipment per sei. Most of our inventory is on the high-end side. But if you want something good, that will last you more than a year before you outgrow it (skill wise) I can deffinetly put together a package for a good price.

Specifically we have some of last years Santa Cruz boards which I can give you a good price on. I'd set you up with Flow FL55 bindings. They're about $110 and really worth the money. We've got some cheaper bindings around, but you don't want them. I don't know, off the top of my head, what boots we have in stock but I can find out. I know we carry Flow Assualt, Zone, and Vector boots, but if you're looking for something cheap you don't want those.


Henry,

Oh man, let me set you up with some Flow bindings. You'll love me for it. I know the toe cap looks like a great idea, but it wiggles off real easy. The Flows use a 3D powerstrap which covers the entire top of the boot. It completely covers the foot, totally eliminating pressure points. And if you haven't seen the reclining high-back, you've missed out on the biggest news to ever hit snowboarding. No more strapping in, you just pull a tab on the back, flip down the high-back, slide your foot in and put the high-back up. you're strapped in and ready to go in under 5 seconds, no sitting, no ratcheting just a consistent tight fit.

ewww no flow bindings are noooot cool, they break really easily
and sometimes if your not very good and land hard the high back pops down.

well...im not sure about the new ones and if they have changed anything, but i know that the ones my buddy had last year did that

I never liked flow bindings...
1. They're pretty ugly looking
2. I tried them once, and didn't like it at all.


I'm going with normal bindings all the way.
IMO Burton bindings pwn.

ahh dale have you ever beem to milton keynes? awesome indoor slope there, loads of fun and plenty of competitions on to watch and stuff its at Xscape loads of shops for that kind of stuff aswell, all the snow surf and skate shops, not sure how far it is away from you but its well worth a day out to it.

[Dale]

Ah i don't think it's that far from me, i always get Milton Keynes confused with Ashton Keynes... Ashton Keynes is a big lake, where you basically just swim, and they have a man made beach, it's pretty cool... and all the lakes in that area have water skiing, canoeing, kayaking etc...

I've done like.. indoor snowboarding Once in london at some convention thing.. was ace... i really wanna go properly

[Deadloader]

there's a place near me.. not sure where i think it begins with an R anyways it's this really hilly place and they got a nice outdoor ski slope, isn't the best mind but it gives me time to practise and shit.. got some neat trick run too ^_^
