depends on how serious you are. if you buy your guilt will nag at you for not being able to call yourself a snowboarded; instead, you will be a poser.

You should rent the first couple of times, you can rent at the resort or go to a pro shop and rent for the season. Keep in mind no one is any good the first time they go out, take it easy and defiantly get a lesson. Buy used equipment if you decide to really get into it. A used set up will run around $300, where new could easily get to $600. Do some research on the equipment and dont be fooled by fancy graphics. Remember its fun!

Buy your own boots but rent the board and bindings. Try a big board and a small board, get an idea of what you like before you buy. Rental boots suck and they are gross.

Rent - you might not enjoy it, and it's helpful to learn something about the activity before you start spending money on equipment.
