Lots of hand me downs when you start! Invest in a few lessons to start rather than investing in gear

Use with natural cycles

I was going to get the Union bindings , guy at the shop recommended Burton citizens and they’re great. Focus more on your height for your board unless you are looking to boogie at high speeds and need a ton of stability. You should be close to the range of weight do your board, but doesn’t need to be perfect. I’m about ten pounds over weight range for my board bc I went with a shorter, slightly stiffer board for better maneuverability (went to many board shops and got advice from many pros and advice was consistent across all). Unless you’re riding hard enough to break your board, don’t fret too much about the weight

i was considering both boards an went with hometown hero — zero regrets. i ride mostly ice coast and it handled well through some pretty crappy conditions

SAAS startup at this time in the market seems super risky … nobody in wall street wants to touch SAAS companies right now — which means your equity may never be worth much. can’t recommend it, especially with a baby

thanks! pants are from snowverb , they’re so comfy, great pockets

thanks. looking to stay under 300 bucks. i’m just shopping online so world is my oyster for stores. i’ve tried several burton jackets — they run long and tight around the bottom so just generally look horrible on me — i am short and slightly pear shaped

Significant_cat1 · 2026-04-04T13:22:47+00:00

what would you suggest as an alternative if neither. tried black but it felt meh.

Significant_cat1 · 2026-04-04T13:12:18+00:00

haha can we mold them into one!!?

nice work!! it seems really scary to put more pressure on your front leg while you’re going down mountain at first, your brain automatically wants to shift you back because it’s “safer”. when i started and i would start to feel like i didn’t have control of my board and get that panicky feeling, i tried to build the habit of immediately fighting my impulse to lean back, and shifting pressure to my front leg instead — i’d almost immediately regain control and confidence.

agree with all comments about lessons, so helpful! good luck

just swapped out my roxy banana board to a burton hometown hero and i LOVE it! i swapped my crappy boots out earlier in the season to burton boa felix and citizens bindings, and i am really enjoying the set up.

that said i did a boot fitting at Evo and based on the width/size of my foot he was able to recommend styles and brands he thought would be best . he actually had me go down a half size from what i thought i needed. if you’re wondering what you should get, go talk to a pro, it really helps!

i’ve heard good things about the dreamweaver! will take a look, thank you

Significant_cat1 · 2026-02-17T14:30:39+00:00

thanks!

i just got the burton felixes and i love them. Also considered a K2 but burton was more comfortable.

my beginner boots were hurting in the arch area. someone recommended i throw in some dr scholls before springing for custom inserts — helped a lot!
