Speed checks, spraying pow, carving is carving? Its a nice feeling I guess. Just stay off the mountain if your honestly asking this question.

It's the best. And it's got great pop for jumps too. It reacts kinda aggressively, so not very suitable for beginners...
Absolutely not
No, not a good idea

Essential gear to snowboard includes suitable clothing. A good snowboard jacket and pants are a good start along with mittens or gloves, goggles, stocking cap, and thermal socks. Basic equipment includes a snowboard, bindings, and boots.
Before 1990, skis typically had straight parallel edges, i.e. the same width everywhere. Then came along the snowboard, which was able to "carve" easily due to the curved siderails, which made the board narrowest in the middle. This shape made the snowboard easy to turn by tilting it on its edge, and riding this way became known as "carving". To allow skiers to carve with the same ease as snowboarders, the skis were modified to have a shape similar to snowboards: Wide at the ends, and with a narrow width in the middle of these skis. At their introduction, such skis were sold as "carving skis", to differentiate them from the traditional, straight-edge skis. The "carving skis" were indeed easier to turn and learn. They became a big success and generally replaced the older ski design. As a result, today pretty much all skis are "carving skis", and the distinction is not really necessary anymore. SJO
There isn't a really worthy snowboard of any size or brand that is under 100 you may get a good Burton 138cm for about $150 or so i believe.
A split snowboard is a snowboard that can split into skis I believe.
