Hire a Snowboard. Renting or rental is generally more expensive than buying your own snowboarding equipment if you intend snowboarding for more than two or three weeks. There are places to rent or hire snowboards both in the UK and at all the major resorts overseas but most riders prefer to have their own equipment because familiarity with your own gear makes you more comfortable and confident and improves your riding. The gear at Bargainboards.co.uk is so cheap that after as little as 1 weeks renting you could have bought a complete set up from us and own your own gear outright! I prefer to own my own stuff because it means more time on the slopes and less time in the hire shops on your days of arrival and departure in the resort. You never know what you are going to get when you hire kit. Often it has been hammered and can be in very poor condition.
