Yea price could be a significant factor. You also have to think about buying boots and bindings which could add up to another 200-400+ . This might be a bad thing to say but realistically it might be a good idea to just go to your local snowboard shop and look around at what they have, taking into consideration the info frostys calculator gave you. There are really so many different boards to choose from. But ya i might be wrong but if your buying from like burton or k2 you really shouldnt have any trouble and should end up with a nice ride. Maybe some one knows something i dont thoughIf I were you i would either go to the store or like through websites andstuff and see what fits my budget and what i am looking to do
