Please take it off me, I wouldn't know where to start!

Re: Anyone into snowboarding?
 

that's a lot of postage.

Re: Anyone into snowboarding?
 

Tell that to parcel force, a lot of people on ebay are charging £20. I'll discount it if someone from the org buys it then.

I know nothing about snowboarding but im getting lessons for my son for his xmas. Are the boards all the same size or does it depend on your height or anything?

Re: Anyone into snowboarding?
 

Its height dependent and it also depends on what your gonig to do with it, if you doing freestyling ( jumps etc ) IIRC you want a shorter board.

For a child an adult sized board wont be any good as it'll be to long and it'll make it hard for them to control it.

Found this company to be really good and cheap. Pack your snowboard up, weigh it & measure it, then it calculates the postage. It'l be cheaper than Parcelforce for certain

Calculates the same way as Parcelforce on volumetric weight. It's good for awkward and heavy items.

Plus they collect from you and if you get your buyers mobile or telephone number, you'll get a text or call when they try to deliver.

I posted a bicycle frame, which is big and awkward to post. £15 for parcelforce, £11 by parcelmonkey, including collection. It's tracked as well.

i'd pop over to www.snowboardclub.co.uk and stick a wee link up on the forum. i think these boards are meant to be pretty good, although just made as a promo item, its made by nitro who make decent boards.

i would consider buying it, but i've been made redundant and cant go buying cool toys just now!

Re: Anyone into snowboarding?
 

Use to be into snow boarding and i know Nitro are a **** hot make, one of the best boards i ever rode was the Nitro Naturals 159. hhmmm may be tempted to watch this item

Re: Anyone into snowboarding?
 

thanx Fizz. Ill wait and see how he gets on with his lessons before thinking about buying his own board.

Re: Anyone into snowboarding?
 

Thanks for the heads up. Org mebers will get postage for way under £18 as a result.

As someone has mentioned, apparently this is a really good board. Its from the middle range of a top brand so if you dont mind the design (and its really not that bad) it could be great learner/starter/spare board. I'm selling it as it makes a crap wall ornament.
