agree
those calculators aren’t adjusted for Australian conditions

during our relatively short season, you want to have the maximum amount of fun in the smallest time possible

fact:
things aren’t that cheap in Japan unless their couple of years old and on sale

Disagree:
Mid/End of season sales can be had for 50% of Aussie prices.
I bought some boots in Jan which were selling for nearly $500 in Au for about $260 depending on the conversion rate.

Massive multi-level sporting goods department stores can be found in Osaka and Tokyo, if her Dad is around Tokyo Go to Jimbo-cho the whole street is lined with sporting goods stores. I only know of Sports Taka in Osaka. Although I’ve never been to a snowboard shop in Summer in Japan, their stock level may be depleted.

That goes for any country with their end of season sales… even AUS

im so glad someone has finally pointed out that those calcs are not ideal for australian conditions. I have been having arguments with my friends about board length and no one believes me.
