Snowboarding advice please

I am looking to buy a new start up board and binding and I was wondering what your thoughts were on the make Raven. I came across two that are cheap and come with bindings.

I cant seem to find much information about the brand. Can anyone help please?

I dont want to spend too much money as I will only use it about a week or 7 days a year.

I know they are probably cheap and nasty but I am only starting out as I am thinking on the over all saving from hiring every time I head to Glencoe at the weekend.

Thanks in Advance.

As it says in the blurb, a lot of board brands are made in just a few factories. The first link board has a rocker/camber profile which is good sign. If you don't mind having an off brand board, it looks good to me.

Thanks Trencher!
