The Lure of the Snowboard



Well, that time is drawing near again... The time of year that all thoughts of safety and life and limb get shoved to the back of the mind as one throws oneself down montains. Well, although this may only be me I have a sneaky suspicion that onthers may feel the same.

Yes folks its time for SNOWBOARDING...




This year I am off to France with Laz. 16 People, full board (free wine and cakes for tea), sauna, jacuzzi and a slave to do all the house work - leaving us plenty of time to perfect those 360 Aerials (hummmm... possibly not this year - well not on purpose at least)
- NOTE to all concerened: I WILL be buying a helmet this year... AND wearing it!!!

So back to the real topic of this post...
SNOWBOARDING EQUIPMENT - I WANT IT!!!!

Laz and I did some sums and basically if one goes say twice a year it is "possibly likely" that purchasing ones own equipment will not prove to be a bad investment...

So the choice of what to get has begun. This is not such and easy task as one may think...
However I think I have found a winner at Robinhood Watersports. An absolute sweet Burton Package that I have strong feeling may be recieving a call from Mr Mastercard!

Plus it comes with a free bag - What more could a spendaholic ever want :)
