Looking for some help please on where to buy a snowboard. It's for my dds Christmas and would be her first board. Just to add that she's had many lessons and is competent.

Do you want to go in person to look at them? If so, it will depend where in the country you are. You could always ask her instructor for advice on where they recommend.

I recently used ATBShop and Snow+Rock but there are lots of reputable places.

Thanks @FuzzyWolf I am not too fussy about seeing them in person and happy to buy online. Her instructor recommended a local second hand place, we had a look but you could tell they were well used.

How old/tall is your DD? Will she need a junior board or an adult one?

How many weeks on snow does she have? It’s also a big factor.

She's 15 and around 5ft 3 @VenusInfers we usually have a lot of snow over the winter months, during the summer she uses the dry slopes.

Okay, sounds like she’s ready for a really good intermediate adult board. So a HUGE amount of choice.

If she mostly enjoys piste, rather than rails, the Hel Yes has been top rated very recently & worth looking for second hand (or last season reduced) ones on eBay etc.

If she likes rails, or only off piste, I have little to offer. 😆

@VenusInfers unfortunately for my nerves it's piste she does 😭😫🤣 oh I never thought about Ebay good idea, thanks will look on there.

Might she not have a view and want to input? Maybe I sound ungrateful but I wouldn’t want someone to buy me skis unless they knew me and my skiing very well!

Sorry not suggesting you don’t know your DD well 😂— but is there a snowboard instructor who knows her boarding well you could ask?
