Do all new boards come in a plastic board bag? - Snowboarding Forum

I know that when you buy a board from shop they put it in a plastic board bag. I was wondering if it is the same when you order a board from the internet. Ive never got a board online and am just curious.

of all my online board purchases, only my Ride came with a re-usable zippered plastic sleeve. All the others just came shrink wrapped, nothing else

Both of my Never Summers & Burton Custom came in re-usable plastic sleeves. All were purchased online.

Depends on the manufacturer.

the sleeves are overated, cost inflaters, anyhow. After I mounted bindings on my Ride, I only put the sleeve back on when I sold the board

Seriously? Cost inflator?

Bags are awesome for storing your board at the end of a season.

i bought a two burtons from skidazzle, one had one, the other i asked the seller to give me. I bought a Rome from sierrasnowboard and it came shrinked wrapped, with a reusable zippered plastic bag over that and then shipped in a flat cardboard box. I have more than one board, so the plastic bag is great for me to store it in

Just got a new GNU Rider's Choice online, and it came with a zippered plastic bag. Yeah the zipper was broken and I had to cut it open, so it's not necessarily re-usable, but to answer your question.... it depends on the manufacturer.

Mine came in a giant trojan.
