I need some help buying some snowboards, boots and bindings.

For my 8 year old son, beginner.

And for myself, 40-something longtime skiier but beginning snowboarder (gotta switch b/c skiing is apparently teh ghey now).

We've gone a couple of times, but just rented, because I wasn't sure if he (or I) would like it, but it looks like it's a go, so I'm thinking of buying something used off eBay. The rentals start to add up, and it's such a hassle.

What I want is something easy to ride, not the lastest, high tech, high speed, etc. stuff.

It seems when we rent, they give him 130s and me 155s, which seem to work.

Any advice appreciated!
