What kind of snowboarding gear do I need to get started in the sport?
Essential gear to snowboard includes suitable clothing. A good snowboard jacket and pants are a good start along with mittens or gloves, goggles, stocking cap, and thermal socks. Basic equipment includes a snowboard, bindings, and boots.
Do normal snow boots work for a snowboard?
No, you have to use boots specific to those bindings. I'm not sure if you have Clickers, the old Switch step in's or something else but I can tell you it is going to be hard to find boots for them and you need to get rid of them! Step in's are outdated and can be unsafe. Flow and K2 make alternative's to these methods that allow you to use any brand of snowboard boot as well and get the performance and response you need.

The best place to purchase Burton custom snowboard bindings is at a local sporting goods retail store such as REI. If one is willing to buy online, the Burton website would be a good place to start as these bindings are sold there as well.
What is a good snowboard for a good price for an intermediate level snowboarder 14 years old so preferably not over 300 but open to suggestions?
I would suggest the Morrow Fury Snowboard package at Scheels. It's a package that comes with the board, boots, and bindings. It save's a lot of money as well as being a great board.

Does a ski shop need both ski boots to test bindings?
Yes. You have to be sure the boots themselves are in good condition.
What brand name is the best snowboard boots?
You should always go with what fits you the best. Salomon makes a real good boot, with locking tightening systems (which are almost always better than regular lace-up) and DC is apparently good with the locking too. Burton and Ride are the best boots. Pure comfort and quality. I rented a pair of salomon boots, and they buckled in the heel making it very uncomfortable to ride.
Is k2 is good snowboard brand?
Yep. Well... Most of it. Generally in life, you get what you pay for. If you pay like $100 for the three B's (Board Boots 'n' Bindings) its probably gonna be kinda trashy. look up reviews on the boards/boots/bindings your interested in. Good luck! Yes.. Both are good brands but both are kinda expensive. But I think it's more better to buy expensive brands than cheaper but trashy. I mean it's more better to buy a stuff quality wise than cheap but rubbishy.
Are k2 snowboard bindings any good i have never used k2 in my life and i need new bindings and it just seems to me that they are not of good quality or if there are too many design flaws?
I'm not sure where you heard that K2 bindings have design flaws, but I wouldn't agree with that at all. Although I ride traditional strap bindings, K2 makes the Cinch which is their take on a Flow styled convenience binding. As for their regular traditional bindings, I would say that it depends on which model you're looking at. All brands make cheap $129 beginner bindings that are exactly that, for beginners.
