Remember that is just a VERY vague guide with a few set of guidelines. That's just to prevent you from overspending when the shop people are looking for a quick sell.
There is soooo much tech in the snowboard industry that no one in this forum can cover it for you. I mean for boards alone there is Rocker, Camber, Hybrid, Flat, Banana Tech.
There's two ways of going about this shopping thing as a beginner:
1) Forget all the tech. Forget all the speedlacing, RockerCamber board profiles. Just buy what fits you and what you feel like will make you stick with the sport.
2) Spend the next 10 years of your life reading up Buyers Guides and Catalogues of all the latest and greatest techs companies are bringing out and pick one for your style.
Either one of this is a fun way of riding and picking out gear. I personally just bought whatever fit when I was starting out then researched really hard when I bought my Lib Tech Phoenix (I had a spreadsheet that contained 7 possible boards, with pros and cons and shit...)
just enjoy the journey to snowboarding man.
