The House has a GREAT package deal where you can get a board, boots, and bindings all under $400. I recommend the Rossignol Sultan 155 package with flow bindings (Large) and Sims Rally boots. That is a dream rig-up for an awesome price. Go to The House and click on Board PackagI would say a 155 would be just right for you.

K2s are very fun rides, but might not be a coincidence I have busted every one I have ever owned.The Legion isThe effective edge and sidecut radius are things not nearly as important as board width and overall length, a very experienced snowboarder would be picky about those things.IMO, I think Rossi boards last longer than K2.

The build is not much different, but a bit more freestyle oriented (centered for ease of switch riding and quicker turning).December 16, 2006 at 5:25 am #2319
yea i think imgoing to go with the rossignol packages. between legion, scope, and sultan. which would you choose? still go with the sultan? i would like a board that isnt toooo noobish as well so i dont have to buy a new one in two years.
