Frosty,Thanks for the reply. It's good to know that Arbor boards are well made. After further researching I noted that Arbor is based in SoCal where I live. So, I think I'm leaning towards buying an Arbor and support the local company. Are there any board company you could recommend that fits the profile I am interested in. Well made and good price point to me (up to $300)? Also, are there any boots you could recommend that is low profile? During my research I noted that it may not be a bad idea to spend a little more on the boots because you want to get the most comfortable boots you can. I already purchased a binding and got a Burton Mission for $90. Are these bindings OK?Thanks,JR
