Lets say I am getting this Burton for free, would it be good for a beginner?

I am talking about the Burton Seven 2010 and I have practiced snowboarding for 2 days. I am doing sliding turns now and not sure if I can carve, but probably not. I don’t want a directional board and I like the softer boards. So would this one fit me? I am getting it anyway.
I just want to know if I will have a hard time riding it.

    Its a great twin board. if your a quick learner you can really grow into it without having to invest in another board. Just keep your knees flexed and weight balanced towards your front foot to keep yourself from catching an edge when riding or carving, especially if your learning on icy conditions. Board flex and feel is subjective thing so try it out. If it’s too aggressive you can always have the edges de-tuned. if you absolutely hate it sell it and get a different board.

    If it’s free then it’s a good board!

    But, it is not a beginner’s board. You’ll be able to ride it, and since you’re learning you wouldn’t know the difference anyway. The seven is a stiffer board made for decent sized jumps and speeds.
    An ideal beginner’s board would be more forgiving(more flexible, shorter length).

    If you really get into snowboarding, in a couple years, do some real research and get a new board that fits what type of rider you are.
