Advice requested! ASAP pretty please....

I am a total newbie and only am going to try this because I want to spend time with my son.
A chum has several used board and binding setups that I can chose from to get me started.
The boards are about the same size - 160 or so.
One is a Rossignal with metal Lamar bindings.
The other (I don`t know) but it has a K2 in the middle of the board and big blue plug with a monogram on it, but can`t make out what it is supposed to be and the bindings are plastic Drake F30.
Which one should I snag? Or does it even make a difference? I just need something to start and figured I would put more $ into the boots to start with.
I have to make up my fast before they are gone!

known and as far as I can tell they`re of some quality, too.

they are about the same quality, so I would just pick the one I like best.

Hi S.O.D._2, welcome here. I hope you will like the forum

(I already wrote to S.O.D._1 -another new member since yesterday) asking if he's family of yours )

I would say pick the board that is in the best shape...edges, bindings, etc. Plan to pay for a tune up on whichever you choose! You just need a board to learn on so flex doesn't matter. As for unsolicited advice if you are old enough to have a son you may want to make sure your knees and back and butt are ready as that is what will take the most beating.

Also invest in a lesson or two.

Grampa, I totally agree with you. A few lessons should be a great way to get started since that is what they're there for.

great sport to spend time with your son, but i hope he dosnt get better than u...then you'll just see him flying down the hill

But then you'll see a father shining of pride watching him

drakes are heavy but really responsive. thats the most info i can give you.

Resorts tended to rent what I call So. Ca. skate/switch decks or something similar when I taught for companies around 2002 for 1st day lessons.
Mine(non directional flex, tip, and tail.There is only a heelside/toeside.The graphics are usually directional)) are very soft and forgiving. They make great casual, and awesome lowspeed pow(when the bindings are centered the board is so soft it will bend and you don't have to lean back) rides.

If you will be riding with your kid a lot getting the American Association of Snowboard Instructors manual may be a very wise investment to look at suggested teaching plans, and movement ananlysis for finding what to correct. I gave one to my niece for a gift, I hope she and or her sisters got something from it for personal riding enrichment.
I rode some students pretty hard. Some methods work better than others for behavior modification. One on one lessons seem to take the frustration out of the process for me as an instructor and make the learning much more pleasant.
