BUYING a SNOW board?
Question:HELP...
i have started snowboarding been doing it for about 6 months now, and i am looking into doing it now every week as ilive near a snowdome, the place hires out boards so i use theirs, i get a burton 150, mens 10 us boots and large bindings...
however i am a female and in my country female boots dont come any bigger than size 10 us, so i get a size 10 us mens becuse its bigger.
now if im am to buy a board can i still go for a womans board and bindings and wear mens boots? also the weight ranges for the boards?? I AM OVER THOSE WEIGHTS does it matter??

I am planning to buy my FIRST snowboard, need help to get a good one.?
You should be ok wearing the mens boots with womens bindings, but it would be a good idea to take your boots along with you when you buy the bindings to check you will get a good fit just to be sure, especially if your boots and bindings are made by different brands.Its hard to say what lenght board is good for you as i don't know your height and weight but im sure you will be ok with a womens board. You could try getting a longer board say a 155 if you are worried about the weight range charts but to be honest they are only a guide. Also if you are mainly riding in snowdomes i would recommend having a small board anyway, as the snow will be quite shallow and you wont be riding at really high speeds anyway as most snowdomes are quite short in length.
You can wear men's boots with women's board and bindings. You might just want to go with a whole men's rig tho (board, boots, bindings) since your weight exceeds that recommended on most women's snowboards. It does not matter TOO much alone, but there are other things such as width to consider as well. I suggest checking out the snowboard sizing calculator at http://www.frostyrider.com
Hope this helps you and have fun snowboarding!
What is your favorite brand of snowmobile?
well i think you should go Burtonthey do ladies specific gear i am not sure what they do but i believe them cuz when i went to keystone 85% of the girls where absolutely shredding on their Burton set up, and i ride all Burton and it's better than any board Ive ever ridden
I'm pretty sure u can ride men's boots in a women's binding but if possible get all Burton women's gear
have fun shredding
Another options may be import some boots from a country that has larger boots. Have you looked on websites and in catalogs from other countries like the US? You might be surprised at what it costs to have them shipped internationally.
