don't let the title fool you. I'm not a beginner. I am very good technique-wise going down the mountain and in the backcountry but I would like to improve in the park. I have always rented up until now because I've always been growing. Now I need to buy.

I have a size 11 or size 12 foot and would like strap in bindings. No clip in [censored]. I want a board suitable for the backcountry as well as the park. I'm willing to spend 600-800 for everything.

Also if you could suggest what I should look for when I go to the shop myself or where I should shop in the bay area (like near San Mateo or Burlingame) that would be sweet too.

thanks
