anyone ever buy a snowboard online? Where from?

[MazerRackham]

I want to buy a Never Summer SL or Premier snowboard, and the places that carry them here in SoCal absolutely suck. Unless there are places better than the Atomic Garage, I'm going to have to buy my NS board online.

So, what are some reputable places? Anyone ever do this before? I just don't want the board to get destroyed during the shipping process. I wish I lived in Colorado too!

Or, does anyone know of a better B&M shop in SoCal that carries NS boards? The NS website lists retailers for SoCal, but there HAS to be more places than the ones they list.... I hope!

Thanks dudes!

I bought my very first snowboard from Snowtraders.com and I got my second one from this dealer in Arizona. All I can say about the shipping is that its usually pretty safe. Neither of my boards were hurt in the least. Good choice going w/ the NeverSummers - I was actually thinking about getting the SL myself. Lemme know if you find anything and I'll do the same.

I have a NeverSummer Premier T5 165 from last year. It is an unbelievable board!

I found one company that does sell them online. Unfortunately, the bookmark for them is at home and I am going straight to Vermont after work so I won't be able to get it before Sunday night.

If you can't find the site before then, send me a PM and I'll send you the link.

Bump because I was able to remember this site.

Tactics Boardshop.

Do know that I have not purchased anything from them, so I have no idea how good they are, I just know they sell NeverSummer boards online.

SFO Snow

SFO also carries NeverSummers - they're in SF so if you're in the Bay Area, it might be worthwhile for you to make a stop.

Hey thanks for all the replies guys... I'm going to check all those places out. I was thinking it would be cheaper to buy from a place outside of Cali, since I won't have to pay sales tax on it. We'll see though.

I still would rather buy the board in person, so I can make sure it's in perfect shape (I'm anal as hell)

Never Summer boards are very very nice.
