So last year I got into snowboarding and enjoyed it quite a bit.
So this year my family got season passes to a place near us, I’m the point now where I need to get gear for myself.
I’m not quite sure what to do about a board.
I plan on going often, once a week or more. And I need to know if I should spend a good amount and get a new one, or if I should try to find one used. And I don’t know any brands or whatever so is there any I should look for?
My budget for a board is under $500, I hope that helps.
Thanks for taking the time, and I’m looking forward to hearing what y’all have for me.

Get a good set of boots first. A quality set will last you practically forever while your board is going to need to be replaced every 5 or so years, depending on the type of riding you do. Sources: I worked at a ski shop for a few years and saw a bunch of people make the mistake to go big on their board / skis before they got good boots and they all hated it.
