hi the board sizing depends on his hieght, there are some very good websites around explaining this.

I have a burton board and bindings going cheap as it has been well used. Also have size 8 boots for sale.

Don't buy a new board as the surface on the dry slope scratches the surface. Debbie

There are always used boards on eBay if your looking for something second hand. I picked up my first board on ebay a few years back.

maybe he should try the dry slopes equipment first to find what size suits him,then he'll have a good idea of what board he likes rather than buying one untried

I teach at the Dry slope.

 

bring him up. book him on some lessons and use our equipment.

 

dont buy your own until he has had 3 or 4 lessons and knows for certain by then he wants to stick with it.
