i would recommend you to go to your local board shop(if you have one near) and not ask people on yahoo.

a real boardshop has people who actually snowboarded before..

and thirtytwo boots are very comfy and durable..so i highly recommend those.

First, use a sizing guide for determining the approximate size of board you should be looking at:

At your size / weight / experience, I would recommend about a 145cm board. I would also recommend a freeride board with some setback and a directional shape – it is easier to learn to ride and you can still use it in the park until you are much better.

I would suggest Ride (Solace) or K2 (Luna) boards:

For boots, you should go to a local shop and try some on until you find the ones that fit like a glove – then look for the right size bindings for the boots you get. I recommend Ride bindings for all around riding – they are much better than the cheap plastic bindings you get with a "package deal" – check these out for only $60. Just make sure you get the right size.
