ErmanoZ · 12-26-2011, 10:38 AM

hi guys, i'm from Turkey and i want to hear some advices from you. i want to buy a board but i couldnt decide which one is better. However, i dont have much money (being student...)Which one do you choose and why? btw horrorscope is 100$ cheaper than gnu but i think i can afford it. you can also advice other boards indeed. i want FS board..

And lastly, if you interested in Turkey, we got really good snowboard parks, you can check if you want a fun trip to east. some of them are Sarikamis, Kartalkaya, Uludag

If you are looking for a board to last you a while I would go with the GNU over the Capita...from everything I have read Capita boards are fairly disposable thus their lower cost. That said I put my son on a Capita Stairmaster but only because I was able to get it new for 40% off list even though it was mid season...also I know he will grow out of it quickly so the durability issues won't matter. We got my wife a Gnu B-Pro because it will be the board she rides for several years.

One other note is that the b-street is a women's board and the Horrorscope is a men's board. You might want to consider the Carbon Credit or the Park Pickle.

There's a Signal Dealer in Turkey somewhere, maybe see for a 2011 Park? Good and cheap but with a better sintered base than what you're looking at.
