How Do You Buy A Snowboard, Bindings And Boots As A Gift?

As the popularity of snowboarding continues to rise, the intial cost of a setup keeps decreasing. Visit pre-season swaps for decent prices on good equipment. Determine if you want to buy the equipment as a group package or separately.

Package deals work well for beginners. The cost of a package deal is generally cheaper than buying each product individually. Choose a snowboard of appropriate size for the recipient.

The size of the board varies according to the weight and somewhat to the height of the recipient. Boards between 140 to 175 centimeters are about average. Pick bindings that have quick release levers.

Step-in bindings, while they have their advantages, are neither necessary for beginners nor usually found in package deals. Finding correct-fitting footwear without the correct feet present is a tough assignment. Boots need to fit properly to enjoy snowboarding.

Bringing along the recipient may not be a bad idea. Check stores at the beginning and the end of the snowboard ... more.

Snowboarding used to be simple--youngsters mysteriously possessed the necessary skills and old people stayed away. But now that everyone's doing it, things have become more complicated. Unless you plan to specialize in one type of riding (slalom racing, for example), get a versatile freeride setup.

Step 1 Rent equipment or borrow a friend's before you buy. You need to know what's right for you, not what's right for someone else. Step 2 Consider the type of snow you encounter most often.

For hard snow and ice, you want a stiffer board. For powder, a softer board rides better. Step 3 Choose board length.

For example, a 5-foot 8-inch (1.7-m) novice will ride something in the range of 150 to 160 cm. More length provides stability and flotation in powder, while shorter boards are more maneuverable. Step 4 Look for a board that matches your needs rather than a particular brand.
