Frosty,I haven't bought my board but I am leaning towards Arbor as of now. I will check out Sims as well thanks. Any recommendation on boots would be great as well.I got my binding from a board shop called Fastlane in Burbank, CA.
Yeah, I could not tell how soft / stiff their boards are from their website. However, they do provide a suggested rider weight for a given board size. I will based my board size selection on the their suggested rider weight.
Travz-Thanks for participating in this thread. Your insight is greatly appreciated. Does it make sense to start with a softer board for someone who is a beginner rider or just get the proper flex for my given weight?Thanks!.
Thanks for the 411 on the Burton Mission. The store where I purchased my Burton Mission had another Burton binding that was on sale for $110, I think it was called Cartel. Does anybody have any experience with the Cartels and is there a significant upgrade in the quality/functionality compared to the Missions? If so, it may make sense to spend an additional $20 and get the Cartel instead.
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
