New Snowboard

Well I've been snowboarding a few times for the past couple years and thought it is time to actually purchase one since renting is very expensive. I was wondering what board TruSnow would recommend for someone who has a decent amount of experience but wants to start learning tricks and having more fun. Im looking to spend about $300-$400 for the board, boots, and binding. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank You

^ I agree with jhoang6... Sierra Reverse Crew with Sierra Rome S90 bindings.  I wouldn't go cheap on the boots though (unless they're heavily discounted), those are the most important!  Get some good quality boots and you'll thank me later. 

Buy a used board and bindings of your local Craigslist for $150-200 bucks and then spend the rest of your budget getting fitted for a decent pair of boots.  Your feet will thank me, boots are the most important part of any set up.

Yup!! I agree with everyone here. I usually steer 1st time buyers to this package or look around for past model deals. Looks like you might like doing butters and park? Go with a soft flexing board. I wouldn't go cheap boots though. Good boots is the difference between having an enjoyable time and a painful day on the mtn.

Make sure you get boots first. You might need to spend more on boots. Boots are the most important piece. Doesn't matter what board and bindings you have when your feet hurts and/or numb, you won't be having too much fun. 

+1 on the boots, my last pair were vans encore boas and they made my feet numb, so make sure you try on the boot and wear it for a little while to make sure that they fit good

i checked a few months ago most 2010/2011 boards/bindings are sold out. i would check out craigslist and ebay they might have what your looking for

Originally posted by humblerooster Is there an easy was to find 2011 or 2010 boards and bindings online? I go to websites and a lot of them are filled with new 2013 gear.

Do not do as me, and buy board as main prior and then boots and bindings. Boots first! Boots can follow you from board to board, you really want someone sitting good, been made of good quality and being really comfy.
