Obviously i need a wide board size 14 boot.. My weight is like 130 and my height is like 5"ll or 5"10.. But i want it to last me a few seasons.. I like to hit the jumps all the time every time i go down the mountain i'm hitting jumps.. i do hit rails or pipes a little but not as much as jumps.... i'm wondering what board you guys would think is best for me and what size? but keep in mind i need a wide.. so it's gotta be made in a wide.. thanks for the advice.. or if you have a different board around the same price what one do you suggest?]]>

You can also get riser pads made by either Burton or Palmer used to make them but I have not seen those in stores for sometime if you want to use a regular board and you have huge feet.]]>

Our website offers a huge selection of boards, but not all snowboards are for everyone. If you need help picking out a snowboard, follow this advice. Just like our vendors, the employees of Sierra Snowboard &amp; Ski test all the snowboards before we buy them. We sell the very best equipment the industry has to offer for different riders, with different, tastes, skill levels and pocket books. Consider your gender, shoe size, weight, skill level, riding style and budget when you pick out a snowboard. The goal of Sierra Snowboard Ski &amp; Patio is to provide our customers with the most up to date and accurate information possible.

Beginner snowboarders can range from people who have never snowboarded before, have only rented snowboards, have trouble turning both toe and heal side and average less than 5 days on the hill per season. Snowboards in this class are designed to be rider friendly, meaning they are soft and easy to ride at slow speeds. They will help new riders gain confidence on the slopes as they learn how to control and turn the snowboard. <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">As a side note, even if you have snowboarded several times, but want a board which gives the rider ultimate control and a “safe feeling” on the slopes, pick a board from our beginner category.<O:P></O:P></I></FONT></FONT></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" ="Ms&#111;normal"><O:P><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>&nbsp;</FONT></O:P></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" ="Ms&#111;normal"><B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><FONT size=2><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Intermediate<O:P></O:P></FONT></FONT></B></P><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" ="Ms&#111;normal"><FONT face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2>Intermediate riders at a minimum know how to connect toe and heel side turns. They might have snowboarded only a couple times or have many seasons under their belt. These riders should feel confident on all groomed green and blue runs, and wants to start exploring on some advanced, black diamond runs or off groomed trails. Intermediate boards are designed to take riders who only know the basics]]>
