Shipping off to Europe - Snowboarding Forum

10-02-2008, 01:28 PM

I´m living in Switzerland, but my board is back home in Canada. Naturally I would like to hit the Alps.

I´m looking for suggestions on how to ship a board from Canada to Europe. Or, if anyone has been in this situation, is it worth just buying a new board or renting for the season?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks a ton!

Well, buying one is definitely an option. However, I´m a student on a low-paid internship, and I´m looking for the cheapest way to do it.

If buying one is the way to go, what about resale when I´m done? Is there a decent market for used boards in Europe/Switzerland? Does anyone have any first-hand experience with this?
