This was the second year running that Stubai had the opportunity to be host to the usual gathering that the British snowboard scene brings, with pro riders, shop owners, retail staff and all the other industry folk that a week in the mountains brings out of the woodwork.
The idea of the test is to give as much of an insight as possible into the new seasons equipment, this making your new purchases a little easier. So before parting with your $$$ and putting all your trust in the kid with the baggy pants behind the counter you can be to know what is really going on with the new kit.
This week also gives our staff the chance to get out and stretch their legs on all the new stuff that TSA will be stocking come September; Burton, Sims, Rome, Nitro, Ride, K2, Palmer, Gnu, V?lkl, etc - and a couple of new brands that will be unleashed. The boards get tried and tested by all the members of staff that will be selling the products on the shop floor, this info is also used in training manuals and catalogues ensuring that the board you choose is the right one for you.
Look out for the board test edition of DOCUMENT SNOWBOARD MAGAZINE in October.
