GASP! I want to snowboard

Even though I plan on skiing every chance I get this winter, I've been considering buying a snowboard setup for the hell of it. Just looking to tool around on groomers and in the park. Having not boarded in about 10 years, I'll be relearning most everything, I would like to become an able snowboarder just to say I am. Anyway, what I need is advice on equipment. I don't want to spend a ton, but I can't be a gaper, either.

As I understand, just like skiing, boots are the most important part. I fit well in Lange and Dalbello boots, and was wondering what brands to look at.

For a board I am looking for the equivalent of the K2 Silencer - cheap but not a piece of trash

I have no clue about bindings.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.
 
I do a little snowboarding too just when I want a change. I have narrow feet and a very narrow heel. Salomon F series are the only boots that have ever felt secure on my heel. Guys I work with told me Northwave are narrow-ish too.

Just go to a good snowboard shop dude, they'll hook you up with what you need. This really isn't the best place to ask about equipment, especially snowboard equipment.

bent metal bindings or ride bindings with the metal heelcup
