Writing a paper, please help me out with some research!

I'm writing a paper on choosing the right snowboard, can anyboady help me find links about:

• How many beginners ride a board that isn't well suited to them? (too long/short or too responsive/not responsive enough for them)

• What percentage of boarders prefer different riding styles? (I would like a pie chart if possible)

I realize this isn't easy stuff but please share any links you might have. Please upvote for visibility, I don't get Karma for self posts.

Thanks a lot, Shreddit!
