The BOARDWORLD Forums ran from 2009 to 2021 and are now closed and viewable here as an archive
Just curious to know what’s on everyone’s wish lists for upcoming (or for those of you lucky to be in the N. Hemisphere; current) season?
Since i can’t justify spending money on a new board when there is nothing wrong with my current board and should to be saving for a wedding I am currently resigned to dreaming about what I would get!
Here’s my wish list so far..
2014 Gnu B-Pro
now to avoid snowboard stores for the next 10 months….
Put the board on your wedding registry.. (and tell your fiance to pick something for just him and do tha same).. Problem solved?
That is a genius idea! We are planning on a french alps + Japan snow honeymoon so that would be perfect
Haha no worries!! I’ve brought my other half (his family and I all put in) and got him a board for his bday, the a board for Xmas the next year, and he surprised me with one half way through last season, (so I think they make awesome presents)
oohh air…you have no idea how relevant this is to me at the moment.
I’m doing the northern hemi season and all of a sudden it feels like I need new everything! (except snowboard pants)
My current board (arbor draft 2012) I only got last season, but I have ridden it heaps and it has taken quite a beating. Now the edges are blunt and to sharpen them would just start taking fibreglass off. So this is number 1 on my wish list:
2014 Arbor Draft 150cm
My old Gnu rear-entry bindings are falling apart and to be honest I’m kinda glad to be rid of them. They are super sick if all you are doing is quick park laps, as you snap in and out so easily…but you have to be standing flat and not on ice to do it…and in pow`?....forget about it!
So this is next on my wishlist:
2014 Nikita Ninja bindings
I also need a new shell jacket. The jacket I have at the moment is insulated and too warm for a lot of days. I’m having trouble finding something that will go with my pink pants though…and I’m not good at picturing in my head and being able to tell if it will look terrible or not! This Nike one is on sale….any opinions of whether you reckon it would look bad or good with pink pants, anyone?
I got new boots near the end of last season for super cheap. I tried them on and they felt different but still comfortable. When I started wearing them, I got numbness in my feet and whatnot and figured I just had to wear them in and pack them out a bit. I’m still getting heaps of pain, especially a cramp in my front foot across the bottom of my foot, just before the balls of the feet start….so I’m thinking I might need new boots as well :-( I’ve heard a lot of good things about Nike boots.
Also need new mittens, and my BW tall hoody is nearly worn out. The letters are falling off the front!
I think I might get a Drink Water Hoody this time:
Sorry for the essay but you did ask!
For next season, 2015 Burton Flight attendant. I think I just found my perfect board on paper. Directional, S-Rocker, 10mm taper (if I’m not mistaken), awesome shape and graphics, and of course ridden by Nico haha. Hopefully it’ll not be too stiff.
I wish for epic proportions of snow accumulations for my upcomin 2015 Japow Trip!!!!!
I wish for the polar vortex to come down under for a season
I wish for whatever he’s wishin for!!!!!
I wish for the polar vortex to come down under for a season
I’m taking this season off so it will probably happen.
I wish for epic proportions of snow accumulations for Dylan’s upcomin 2014 Japow Trip!!!!!
Fixed it for you
But on a more serious note, an early sign off for my apprenticeship
That arbor board looks sick cords
I like alot of the board graphics done by abor
So much I don’t need but I really want.
Just a few
