Hello, Are there and websites that specialise in secondhand ski/boarding
equiptment?

I'm after 2 complete snowboard setups for my two children, one 126mm and one
140mm board both with size 3 boots.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Yes, I've been checking Ebay for the last couple of weeks but not a lot
turns up 2nd hand in childrens sizes.

Thank you anyway, and I'll keep checking.......

There's a Buy/Sell notice board on the Ski Club website (in my sig)
from the 'discussion' menu.

No idea how good it is, or whether you'll find what you need.

Ahh, well there's nothing currently on there, but if you put up a
'Wanted' posting, who knows?

give www.loot.co.uk a try, search in lifestyle - downside is that you have
to pay to see contact info for recent ads - or buy the paper version.

Rent? Kids grow up quick enough that you'll be buying new kit every five
minutes.

Other than that, try eBay, or a place near me called Lockwoods...

The thing is the closest dry slope that caters for under 11s, for them to
learn/practice on is quite a long way away. If they had there own gear they
could go locally.

Oh right. I don't know then. I think I'll have that problem in a few years
when my girlfriend's little lad wants to snowboard, too. He's getting taught
skiing soon, but he fancies himself (worrying when he's only 5!) as a
skateboarder, so a snowboard won't be far off.

If you find anywhere, let me know... for future reference! LOL

Where abouts are you?
I took them to High Wycombe last weekend and they were very good teachers
indeed and also very good prices. Some of the children learning
snowboarding cannot have been any older than 5 and lessons are £11 and hour.
Also I think Milton Keynes do lessons for younger children.

In Solihull. I've got Tamworth about 25mins drive away. Not that it's much
use. They never look after it properly and the lessons are a joke. I was
there skiing while my girlfriend had a £55 hour long lesson. All the moron
did was stand at the bottom chatting to his mates while repeatedly sending
her up to ski down, supposedly watching her. What happens? I take her skiing
in a resort and she can't handle anything. I had to try and teach her... and
I'm a long way off from a ski instructor! I'm proud of myself in one
respect, though. I taught her a very basic thing... sideslipping! She needed
it when we took a wrong turn and ended up on a red!! I'd taught her on a
green but I must have done alright as she went down this red on her ski's
and not her backside like some others around us! LOL

Tamworth, I think, won't teach boarding until 11. We're getting him skiing
first, though. Let him try boarding when he gets a little older. He's
looking forward to it, though. He, like me, can't wait!! LOL
