I am the one that friends go to when they need gear. 1, because I usually have a much better idea about what they need and what’s out there and 2, I get good deals.
I already helped with the boot selection, but now I’m involved in a possible snowboard purchase. Since the boot size is like a 12 or 13, I’m on the lookout for a wide board for everything and not too stiff, you know…just right.
I have a few in mind already. K2 Format, Forum Recon, Burton Bullet and possibly the Ride Fleetwood though I think that may be a bit too stiff.
I’m still researching, but I found some decent boards on evogear.com. I’m even looking locally on like craigslist since this is not a priority purchase as he is first a skier.
If anyone has some favorite wide rides, let me know. I’d appreciate the help!
