Snowboards

[pebbels]

Hey all i went snowboarding for the first time on the weekend and have fallen in love with it just owndering if anyone on here knows the best boards to get and where from? Any info would be great

[weeman_911]

i havent been snowboarding before but i know a brand that is good, it is Brighton, well i think thats it i cant really remember but i know it starts with B!

[pebbels]

Are you thinking of burton?

[weeman_911]

yeah pebbles thats probably it, those boards are sick as and the flying tomato uses them!

[pebbels]

Lol The who use them?

[weeman_911]

the flying tomato is shaun white, he is an awesome snowboarder and he skates too, he is the guy with the long red hair

[pebbels]

hmmmm fair enough must be good boards

I wouldnt get a Burton they are usually over priced, Brands like "RIDE" & "NEVER SUMMER" are good, dont buy in snow either youl pay heaps too much or buy in summer and youl save heaps.

[weeman_911]

yeah definately buy after the snow season and maybe on the internet because you can buy things off the internet and from america for way cheaper than what you can get anything in aus for

Well i went shopping for a few prices and can get a great deal on a jeenyus has anyone heard bout them?

[weeman_911]

i havent heard of them but maybe look them up on the net. and if the original price is really high the might be allright because yo only get what you pay for

I'm lucky i work for a Snowboard company from Melbourne called Heresy Snowboards (www.heresy.com.au) and we have a couple of boards on sale at the moment if your still looking for a good cheap board. All our boards are hand made in the states and are made from the best possible materials.
We also have a full range of clothing as well so go check out the website....
