Should I buy a vision snowboard for £35?

Question

I've been snowboarding on an artificial slope and a few times in the mountains since the start of the season. I'm confident enough on intermediate slopes (but they're scottish intermediate so not sure if that's the same as everywhere else). Should I buy a vision board for £35 ($69) or should I hold out til I'm a little better and get a proper expensive board?

Answer 1

I think you should hold out until your a little better.

Answer 2

I would avoid buying that Vision board as although its a cheap price its not a good brand and you would probably find it not too good to ride. It sounds like you are at a good stage to get your own board now as scottish intermediate slopes are the same as everywhere else, and its good practice riding the dry slopes as well. You should go for an entry level all mountain board something like a Rome Vinyl, K2 Luna or Ride Vista. If you cant afford a new one go for one of last years stock or a second hand board. Good luck with the riding.
