I'm getting a new deck from zumiez, which should I choose?
ATM (Deck not wheels)
Blackout
Goodwood
Mini Logo
Speed Demon
Dude don't support zumiez. They are not a small localized shop and half the time the employees of zumiez don't know anything about skating.
infact I know a guy in southern CA and he went to zumiez bought a board and wanted his board gripped and the dude working gripped over the graphic. I went into zumiez a few weeks ago and I asked the guy working if they had an 8.5 and he asked me what that meant….
ive been skateboarding for almost 9 years and i wanna switch to snowboarding. iam familiar with riding down hills but wanna take it to the next level with jumps and all taht jazz.
what board setup should i get? along with a decent winter apparel like ajacket and pants?
iam 5'11 and weigh 173lbs
why you even brought up skateboarding is beyond me…it's a completely different practice than snowboarding.
But to answer your question based on your WEIGHT, get a board around 156cm in length or higher…the higher the number the faster you will go but also keep in mind if the board is too long for you and your skills are sub-par it will be hard for you to turn.
also it depends on what type of riding you want to do…park, mountain or a combination of both. parks require softer boards, while mountain boards you want them on the stiffer side, and if you do both probably a mid-flex. (bindings should match style of riding as well.)
lastly…you never want to get DECENt snowboard clothing..you want something definitely waterproof, keeps you warm but doesn't over-heat you with activity, etc: my suggestion…avoid burton, and go with the North Face triclimate with hyvent technology. It's comparably priced to any good jacket with the exception that it has a lifetime guarantee of waterproofing, it's lightweight, and it's extremely breathable. The other jacket companies out there are waterproof but the more you wash them or wear them the faster the chemically treated material loses it's water repelling abilities. North Face is definitely worth the investment! Ditto on the pants.
And most importantly select boots based on your style of riding…again they come in stiff, mid-stiff, etc. good brands are 32, vans, ride just to name a few. Boots are the second most important part of a snowboard package.

i live in livonia michigan so there are a few good snowboard places such as mt brighton adn mt holly. and then theres crystal moutain in traverse city.
if your going to get into some jumping it really depends on what you like ex. natural hits, or park jumps. The brand of snowboard i would suggest is either ride or Nitro, they are very well made boards and most of them are relatively light. Look for boards geared more towards freestyle and stay away from directional shape boards as they do not work well riding switch. Board suggestions: Nitro: team 159, Nitro misfit wide, Ride: Antic 158, Prophet 162, these should get you started, and in the mid range price but very well made again. Boots are the most important in riding, i really like thirty two, either the lashed or the prospect boot, and also nitro, look at the anthem or team boots. they are very light weight and help with jumping. As for bindings i like raiden and ride look for any mid level binding such as the ride rx binding or the raiden bolt. These are very sturdy and will hlep support you in and keep you upright on rough landings at first. All Companies make good clothing, just stay more with the major brands, and DO NOT get any clothing that is rated under 10,000 in water proofing or breathe ability. I really like holden and Ride. For goggles look for anything that has a mirrored lens it will help out in the day and a lens that is not dark so that you can wear them at night. A Helmet is essential even though most people don't wear them, they help a lot especially when trying something new, one wrong hit on the head and you wont be able to snowboard or anything possibly for the rest of your life. Look at Red, and giro, they make the lightest helmets i know of. Gloves are also important and i like any that are warm and still allow me to use my hands so i usually go with either celtek or grenade. these are a little expensive though and any other also work, especially dakine and defcon. Hope this helps, oh and for starting jumps keep your board straight and level it helps with the landing.
