Different snowboards will excel at different conditions for different riders. Factors include your weight, preferred speed, type of snow, and whether you prefer a more stable or more maneuverable ride. Sizes don't translate 1:1 between different board designs. Bindings are also very important and a good pair can cost a good fraction of what you're spending on your board.
All this to say it's probably better to figure out if you like snowboarding and if so, what kind, before you start shopping for gear.
However, there is one exception: boots! If you are fairly sure you're going to like riding, and can get fitted in-person at a respectable shop, go do it. Boot fit matters a ton for comfort and confidence, rentals suck, and it's definitely worth the premium of buying in-person to get a pair that fits. Tl;dr you want a boot in which your foot cannot move *at all*. Boot size is just the length of the footbed. Every other three dimensional measurement also contributes to whether your foot (and ankle) are snugly wrapped, painfully crammed, or loose and about to get beat up badly. An expert can help you find the model that fits your foot best, and will be sensitive to any budget concerns you express.
Boot liners will pack out, but filling up empty space is basically impossible. A liner is good for about 100 days of riding, and if it's perfectly comfortable the first few days, it will probably pack out to be too big by day 20. Figuring out what kind of tight, mild discomfort will break in to be perfect in a few days vs never fit right is really tough without an expert's help, so go get it. A $200 budget boot that fits perfectly will beat a slightly-too-big $600 boot every time. (A slightly-too-small boot may be fixable, but you'll have to pay a shop to "punch it out" or make other adjustments). FWIW, I ride boots 2 full sizes smaller than some of my running shoes.
It's also a good time to start checking the used market.

Any suggestions on where to look for reviews and recommendations for equipment for beginners?
i'm sure some will disagree, but i would start with a banana camber board such as: https://dreamruns.com/products/li...board-2024
I know they dont carve like traditional camber boards, but in opinion I like the floaty boards. especially in powder. Doesnt kill my legs leaning back all the way down the mountain.
There's no way to contact them except by email. Let's see if they respond

Slickdeals wouldn't let me give you rep points because the post is too old. Thanks for the info. One of my kids is interested in snow boarding. Should I just rent some equipment to start?
On-mountain rentals are going to be the most expensive and usually the worst quality. However, they're also by far the most convenient, especially if you need to swap out gear in the middle of a visit. Changing boots during your lunch break is a lot easier if you're renting on-mountain. So even though it's a rip-off, it might be the best choice for your first few days. Keeping logistics simple is a huge part of having fun with kids in snowsports.
If you live close enough to a mountain go be able to go frequently throughout the season, definitely look into season rentals. They''re usually competitive with renting for a week (sometimes less), and include basic maintenance and swapping out gear.
For kids, there's a hybrid rental/purchase option through Epic Mountain Sports. Basically, you buy your kid's setup, and for the rest of the season you get all the benefits of rentals. But you never have to take them back if you want to keep them. The next year, you can trade them in for 50% credit.

Thanks again for the helpful information about the equipment. It seems like costs can add up quickly without careful planning. I'll take a look at the Epic when I get time.
Merry Christmas!
