Snowboards like skis are increasingly specialized for intended use--if this is your first season snowboarding then a general use snowboard probably makes more sense.  Renting a variety of equipment provides a "hands-on" feel for the type of snowboard that fits your use and style best. Go to Tips and Techniques: Beginning Snow Boarder Tips for a discussion of how to get started in snow boarding.

Bottom Line: Carefully examine how you will use your equipment throughout the year and select a snowboard, boots and bindings that match your riding style and primary use. Other snowboard equipment you might be interested in reviewing:
