Snowboarding Gear: Are Morrow Blaze Boards good? Airwalk bindings?
I recently got into snowboarding and dont know diddly squat about the gears. My co-worker is trying to sell me a Morrow Blaze Snowboard unused and his Airwalk bindings, for like $200. I’m a gettin a good deal? Someone who has experience with these names will help greatly.. any suggestions? tips? concerns? Let me know if I should buy it..
any morrow board is crapolla first of all. second, airwalks are ok bindings. they are what i started out with. the thing to remember is, both of these brands are good if you are starting out but when you get better you are going to want better equipment. burton bindings with toecaps are pretty much top of the line. ride bindings are also about the best it’s gonna get. in terms of boards, the best out there are forum, Burton, ride, rome, academy, tech nine, and maybe capita.
keep shreddin!

ask your fried if the morrow Blaze board he is selling you is a 2007 board. If it is then you are pretty much getting a retail price on the board plus a pair of bindings, which probably aren’t worth all that much (Board goes for $199 according to online shop link below). The first online shop i googled came up with that price.

If its a 2006 morrow blaze then hes kinda ripping you off, somewhat, as last years boards are always sold for a discount.
For a beginner/first board, that board and bindings set-up would be fine for you to learn on.
You could easily get a good package deal (new: board, bindings AND boots) for under $300 from a snowboard shop or online/eBay. When you have time go to a snowboard shop and ask the experts about good deals they have going at their shop and they can help you with what equipment is good for you.
If you absolutely must buy from your friend then maybe try and bargain the price down a bit. And don’t forget to check that the board length is the right length for your height/weight. You can check here http://www.snowboardlengthcalculator.com/
I guarantee you that there will be people who will say "go with a Burton" … Burton are great and all but they’re not always the best. and for a beginner its way too expensive for a first board that you’ll probably just bang everywhere
