Hi! Thank you for your comment, and sorry for my late reply. Well, I bought the stuff and had the chance to try it out this weekend. Hmm... I enjoyed it very much. Considering the board, the largest ajustment for me to cope with is its length, especially on too steep slopes. The boots are Ok, however a little bit small so my first investment will be to replace them, but they will be Ok for this season. The board and the bindings themselves worth the money. In overall I'am really pleased. Could you please tell the significance of the board being fairly narrow? And also, why would you suggest a slightly shorter, wider and softer board? Thanks again.

Hi guys, I've been using a soft board for like, 10 or so years, but now I am thinking of switching to alpine, frankly because of carving, duh... So, I'd like to get my hands on something cheap before investing a bigger amount of money in a brand new equipment. Please, give me some advice whether the below stuff would be good for my purposes (getting the taste of "real" carving compared to soft; improving technique). I've found this deal in my country: http://www.expressz.hu/sport/snowboard/deszka/hirdetes-29921546/ The board length is 172 cm, no additional info. The board, binding and boots are for app. USD 170 (let's assume the stuff is in good condition). I'm 180 cm tall and 70 kg. Thanks!
