 Poster: A snowHead
|
My partner won a board during his first weeks snowboarding. It was a very cheap board but has done two seasons very well. However the bottom of the board is now starting to delaminate. Can't complain since it was free.
But he now wants (needs) a new board. We're heading out to Canada just after Christmas so we need the board by then.
I know from experience that Jasper in Canada isn't cheap for boards (especially with the current exchange rate) and we won't have the chance to shop anywhere else whilst we're there and anyway, we want to board not shop!
So does anyone know where in the Edinburgh area we can start looking for a board for him? Any recommendations or warning of where not to go.
We used to get our boarding stuff from a shop in Dundee, but that's no longer there.
Thanks

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

There is a place in Dundee called Wintershack near the Asda at the bottom of the Kingsway. They also have an eBay presence - do a search on eBay for a member called "Wintershack" to see what they have in stock.
I also think Craigdon Mountain Sports in Perth sell snowboards and Summits in Dunfermline.

"wintershack" have changed their name on ebay to "ski and board discount warehouse". I've used them a few times, never any problems.
