What is your price range? And do you want to buy new bindings with them?

You could try a 141 premier, i've heard it's a really good board. Just don't go out and buy something cause i said it, you'll get better advice from more experienced people than myself. 
Another good one is the PS3.

My first suggestion is to not worry about the graphics. You are a beginner, the premier and the ps3 are both pro model boards. Why would someone recommend them to you? I don't know, but don't get a pro model board if you are a noob, it will stunt your progress indefinetely. Buy a beginner or intermediate level board.

If you have been riding any time at all I don't think a pro board will hurt your learning... if any thing it should help it. The Premier is a good board. You might also look at the 3DS,that is also a realy good board.

If you would like to get a board that would progress your learning and help you get better faster then you ought to give the LF Omega a try. One of my buddies bought that board at the beginning of last season, he was just doing wake2wake w/ a few grabs. Now I he is throwing like 8 different inverts and is going huge.

Partyb, i was told the premier was one you could use as a newbie through being advanced. Oh well, thanks for correcting me.

Yes I am, I love them, only problem is when you use another board without hinge bindings the heel lift can be a bit off putting. 
I love the real locked down feeling that they give. I've come out of them a few times on bad falls but in general they lock my feet down tight and feel very responsive. I'd highly recommend them. Cash well spent.
If you want me to post some pics of my set up I can do that, not sure if that's what you want though. |
