What Snowboard?

[Tim186]

Well off snowkiting in feburary and need a snowboard, only problem is i haven't got a clue what i am looking for, I want a cheap snowboard, ideally bindings and board for about £150 which is why i have been looking on Ebay, the problem is i dont know what kind of board to get and what the differences are. i need a 155-156cm board and i am about 95kgs, so any advice is much appreciated

Hi have you thought of renting?

Any desent place will allow you to change your board during your stay so you can try differnt set ups?

Most boards will do - If you can move the bindings to centre up the stance this helps.

If you can get a symmetrical twin-tip these will be better for snowkite, but may prove hard to ride downhill unless you're a hardcore jib-kid.

 

And.. Lipno rocks - Perfect place to learn to snowkite!

This is one of the best snowboards you can buy, better than all that burton rubbish *

 

 

*all of the above is alot of nonsense and balmedie_bam does not advise you even consider this board as an option

Do note however, that there are no shops (or much else for that matter) at Lipno. Get your snow gear in Prague first!

Aye, that be true.....also a little walk to a near by friendly hotel which does very good stew & those nice dumplings:D .....just what you need after a days Snowkiting in -15deg, then the walk to that hotel in the evening, where temp drops to -22 or something stupid like that:eek:
