i love super stiff, large and powerful boards, which is why i ride the rippey, but if you have never ridden before i would agree with quiet and check out the lower end boards, dont get something super sweet like the burton custom for example, as bad ass a board as it is, its not suited for beginers whatsoever, its not forgiving, really snappy, and more squirelly(sp?). so its not suited for a beginner.
my second choice is Option Snowboards. they are the shit, they are expensive, made in vancouver BC, but everyone i know who rides one raves about them and iv never seen one go bad. might be what im getting this year in fact. after 5 years on burton.
i have also ridden lib tech/gnu(mervin), K2, rossignol, morrow, sims, and god knows what all else, burton however has stood well and above thier competition throughout.
