Lamar Cruiser
The Lamar Cruiser is an all-mountain performance snowboard from Lamar’s bronze series. The Cruiser features a versaflex full wood core and edge link sidewall construction. The Cruiser comes in sizes 144, 149, 154, 157, 159 and 163.
The Lamar Cruiser is a good beginner to intermediate board. Advanced riders should probably avoid this board though, as it really lacks edge grip. The board also requires quite a bit of maintenance because the base is not sintered. The board can be found for ~$100 price point on ebay, which makes it a great value for beginners.

Comment by Dave
I have almost a full season in on my Cruiser 163 and I have been very pleased. This is my first board and for the price, it is very tough to beat. Compared to the rentals I’ve used in the past, this board is more responsive and predictable. You can get a complete package with boots, bindings, and board for a very reasonable price (but watch the bindings from Lamar, I’ve already broken a ratchet on my right binding so we’ll see how good their customer service turns out to be).
All in all, if you are a beginner in the snowboarding world, this is a great board and I would very highly recommend it.
