Rent or buy snowboard equipment?

Question

I'm going on a ski trip nexts month and was planning to snowboard but i don't know if it's better to rent the equipment or buy them. PLZ HELP!!!!!!!

Answer 1

For you defintally rent!!!!! You have never snowboarded before so you might not like it!!! I recomend only buying equipment if you live near snow and will snowboard lots. Rent it this once and if you love it (WHICH YOU WILL! :)  ) you can buy equipment later. good luck and have a blast :)

Answer 2

ggggggggggggg

Answer 3

rent babes!!!

Answer 4

I would rent them first just  in case that you don't like them

Answer 5

Renting is cheaper if you don't live near a snowing place(unlike me).....Buying is great if you know how to do it and visit often

Answer 6

RENT!!!  If its your first time snowboarding then I wouldn't spend all that money on a sport you don't even know if you will like. Over 60% of people who try snowboarding don't make it to their second day.  So really unless you know its your sport I woud rent.

Answer 7

If you've never snowboarded before, I would rent, because you don't know if you're going to like it or not. Also, if there's a problem that you can't solve, you can take it back to the snow rental place and they can fix it. If you buy, then you could be stuck there with a snowboard that you don't know how to fix. Renting is also more convenient because you don't need to pack anything, you can just go skiing. You might want to get to the ski rental place early to avoid line ups. Remember to bring locks, because you don't want your board to get stolen.

If you have snowboarded before, and you know you enjoy it, you could try buying one- if you snowboard a lot. If its only an occasional thing, I'd stick to renting.

Good luck! (I tried snowboarding for the first time last year... most people enjoy it, and once you do, you never want to go back to skiing- if you've skiied before. So I guess in the end it doesn't matter- you'll be addicted no matter what! =D)

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

hey girl,

RENT. Especailly if you're new to the sport, you may not know if you'll stick with it or exactly what kind of gear you want and everything is pretty expensive.

Answer 11

I rent ALL of my ski equpment cause that way every year you can have the newest equipment and you dont have to carry them around on the plain (plus you would be way over 30 kilos) and if your going by bus you dont have to worry about were to put them

rent them for the whole season that way it is less expensive if you go alot

Answer 12

if you are a new snowborder rent it bercause you arn't going to no if you like it

Answer 13

rent

Answer 14

well i have never rented equipment i just bought a nice used board for cheep. so either you could rent or you could buy new or you could buy a good used board like me to see if you like it and then if you don't then you didn't put alot of money in to it. but really it is up to you!

good luck!

Answer 15

rent it unless you plan to spend a lot of time skiing.

Answer 16

IF YOU DONT live by snow then rent it is pretty inexspensive for the gear

Answer 17

buy them. that way, you can snowboard more, and wont have to pay every time you rent them. u have to pay to snowboard AND rent, while you only have to pay to snowboard and pay ONCE for buying the equipment.
