my 1st board was a k2, and i still have it. and its still kinda rideable 🙂 their quality is good.i think the anagram will suit you just fine. if you like the graphic with the length, you're set!bindings are your call. if you have a ski store, go check out all they have to offer. theressome new technology out this year thats really tops. i saw a set of k2's that were reallyfunky. like flow's step in, but better! but also more complicated and probably more proneto breaks. I ride flows on my rail board for quick ins and outs, and “ride lx” for my terrainpark board because..well…i like how secure they make you feel. see what catches youreye. burton also makes great bindings, but frosty will have to fill you in on the plate issue,i dont know if they still only ship them with the 3 hole set up or if they ship em with both plates.stomp pads….a
