Is there any benefit to buying second hand boards as you progress until you figure out what brand/type suits your style?

Why is it that companies/brands such as Never Summer and Mervin seem to have such a strong following as compared to K2, Salomon, and Rossi? From what I’ve seen, and ridden they are of better quality, and seem to ride better than the American made brands, yet people still seem to look at them as “ski brands”. Wouldn’t you think that all the years of research and development building skis would give them an edge over the younger “cool” brands?

Is debating the snowboard profile progression from entry level noob to expert a debatable topic? In other words, what profile should a noob start with and then progress to and then progress to and then progress to? If that makes sense. Not sure if it’s debatable.

Why/how has snowboarding influence/popularity dropped since the 90’s/00’s
Ian Mulhall via email
You guys show how important Snowboard Community and culture is to those who enjoy it, But I was wondering what has triggered such a resurgence in skiing, Why it seems a lot of companies are pushing it over snowboarding and what do you believe that us as individuals, a community and especially the Manufacturer’s of the gear we use and locations we visit, do to show that snowboarding isn’t dead and bring us back onto an even playing field as it were.
