Cheap Snowboards are the Best!
There are so many people that are always after the top end boards like the Burton Vapor. These are sick boards, undoubtedly. But I think too many people overlook the great deals. Now I am not saying that we should buy crap from your local sporting goods stores, but check out the boards that are priced around $400 or so. Then wait till the end of the season and buy that stuff at like half price!
Now some people may argue that those boards are behind the times, and that there is all sorts of new tech. Again while this may be true in some boards, generally speaking it is marketting crap. Fifteen years ago there were huge advance year to year. But snowboard technology is at its pinnacle. Yes materials are always being improved, but year-to-year the differences are minute. And in some cases the differences are merely cosmetic.
So do yourself and your wallet a favor. Keep your cash till the end of the season and buy your board. Heck buy two for the price of one!
