You might want to take a lesson and rent before committing yourself. Or borrow a board from a friend.

I'm not very up to date with the scene, but here a few brands i remember from the top of my head:

boots: 32, burton, vans
board: burton, ride, forum
bindings: burton, ride, forum
i've been boarding a few times its just been a couple years and i plan to get on the slopes a bunch this winter as im moving closer to the mountains. last i remember i used boards that had identical nost/tails on them and it seemed to work out well for me.

i was just under the impression if your height had something to do with the length of your board. if thats not the case then i guess ill just go to the store and check out some boards and see what looks good to me.

thanks for the help guys if anyone else has a suggestion shoot it in here.
