Recreational Snowboarders!

I am a beginner here. The closest thing to snowboarding that I have ever done was paddle board in the Caribbean LOL. I would say on the scale of athleticism I am moderate. Not a fitness junkie by any means. But I do try to stay on top of my health and well-being. I work out 3-4 times a week, doing lots of body weight routines right now (too scared to go to the germ infested gym). I squat, lunge, use my resistance bands, push ups, sit up, planks, mountain climb exercises, burpees, pilates, etc.

I have always wanted to snowboard. My fiancé used to snowboard and its something we want to try to do together!!

Money is not an object to be honest. I like having good quality gear. So if you snowboard or are familiar with the sport, give me all your tips and advice. (By the way i will be taking starter lessons).

Tell me brands. Style. Board. Bindings. Safety gear. Tips.

(I am 5"8 and weigh 165-170 pounds)
