Best snowboard setup for my needs?

I ve been boarding for 3 years and i need a new setup. Im 14 year old. 5'4 and weigh 120lb. I board freestyle. I will gain some weight by winter because of football. I currently have a burton punch with freestyle bindings and moto boots. I wear a size 9 shoe. Im wanting some k2 cinch bindings. not sure on the board or the boots though.

Looking at your current weight and height a 150 would be a good size for an all mountain board for you. As you are after a freestyle board you could go a bit smaller than this but im not too sure how small mens boards go. But as you are likely to put on weight soon id advise going for a board around 150 you can get alot of jib boards around that size boards like the Rome Anthem, Ride Kink, K2 WWW, Bataleon Evil Twin, Burton Blunt, Burton Dominant, Apo Selecta, Capita Stairmaster. All these boards are good but as they are jib boards they are percifically for rail riding if thats what you are into pick any of these. If you are after more of an all round freestyle board out of these the Burton Blunt and Bataleon evil twin would probably be your best bet.


As far as the rest of your kit you should really get your boots before your bindings. Its vital that your boots fit you well and you should buy the boots that fit your feet the best and come into your price range regarless of style or brand. As far as bindings go the K2 cinchs are good but if your boots dont fit well in them they will be no good. Its a good idea to take your boots down to the store with you when buying your bindings to check the fit is good. Hope this helps, Good luck.
Reply:depends, i'd say go with wider bindings, you get more spin if you are looking for rotation.
