Since I’m constantly answering this question and since I usually give the same answers, I thought I should put all this info in one place to make it easier for both you and me.
All my snowboards recommendations below are based on a combination of what I’ve ridden mixed with snowboards that come recommended from reviewers I trust. Sometimes I give 2 because I couldn’t decide which I’d recommend more.
For the extra lazy, I included links to reviews for each board so you don’t have to take my word for it. These recommendations are based on 2011/12 season boards although I did include some reviews for the 2012/13 versions.
If you can, I still recommend demoing these snowboards for yourself since that’s the only way to be 100% sure you’ll like a snowboard.
