Beginner Snowboard Gear ON A BUDGET! | Rent or Buy? What to buy first? Inexpensive snowboard gear!

In this video, I'm diving into all of the top things you'll need to know about snowboarding gear as a beginner snowboarder! Should you rent your snowboarding gear or buy your snowboard gear? What gear should you buy first? When do you get cheap snowboarding gear? Where's the best place to find inexpensive snowboarding gear?
When I went snowboarding for the first time a few years ago, it was my first time going to a ski resort in the winter. I knew nothing about snowboarding and didn't know the first thing about gear. So, this video deep dives into all the things I wish I had known when I was starting out as a newbie snowboarder.

SHOULD YOU RENT OR BUY YOUR SNOWBOARDING EQUIPMENT?
If you've never been snowboarding before, I highly recommend you RENT as much gear as you possibly can. You don't even know if you like snowboarding yet. I recommend you rent your gear for at least the first time you go, and then see how you like it! Renting your gear will also give you time to test out different types of snowboards and snowboard boots to determine what you like and don't like. This will enable you to be that much more prepared to know what type of snowboard and boots you'd like to buy when you are ready to purchase your gear.
If the budget is not a concern, you can definitely purchase all of your gear right out of the gates. Keep in mind, if later down the road, you decide you don't like snowboarding, you could always sell your gear. I don't recommend this for most people because A- Most people don't have an unlimited budget and B- Most people wouldn't want to bother with the hassle of selling gear if they've only gone once or twice.

Once you've established you like snowboarding, this is the order I recommend you purchase your snowboarding gear.

PURCHASE YOUR GEAR IN THIS ORDER:
1. Apparel, all of the items you wear on your body.
2. Boots. Make sure you invest in quality boots as your boots will significantly impact your comfort level on the mountain. If your budget allows, you can purchase your boots at the same time as your apparel.
3. Snowboard. By purchasing your snowboard last, it will give you additional time to rent boards and determine which type of board you like best. Snowboards vary greatly, and a different type of board will ride so much differently.

COST-SAVING TIPS:
1. Don't be afraid to look at second-hand gear. Used Snowboarding Gear is a great way to get your first set of gear. There are plenty of second-hand gear shops, marketplaces, etc. that have great deals. I purchased a used snowboard and it was such a great deal.
2. There are always lots of good sales at the end of the ski season. If you can plan that far ahead, purchase your gear at the end of the season to use for the next season.
3. Look for mid-summer sales. Most snowboard shops will have huge sales mid-summer to prepare for the snowboarding gear coming in.
4. Look for plenty of Black Friday and Christmas sales. Additionally, I included above some of my favorite online retailers that have good prices on their gear.

I looked at the subscriber count after watching expecting to see over 20, 000 subscribers. The quality and how you talk and explain is amazing. Keep up the great work .

Used gear saved so much money, my challenge was finding it at local mom and pop shops that had used gear. I didn’t wanna go online because sometimes they can be really flawed. But if you are new maybe rent the first day, if you decide to start getting into it, 100% getting starter gear, doesn’t even have to be quality, is best.

Thank you 🙏🏼 going on my first snowboarding trip this weekend and was thinking about buying everything but gonna wait and see if I even like it lol

[yt_sheesh]

I need to know where to get cheap gear in / near Denver or copper mountain. Me and my gf are driving there day after tmrw. But we are from Florida, so we need to buy some gear as soon as we get there. Do y’all know of any good in person stores that would have the best prices. Or any particular thrift type of store there that usually has ski gear? We mainly need pants, or a one piece. And maybe some goggles, gloves, jackets, or base / mid layers.

[aprilCaffrey]

I had a question of where did you go snowboarding ? Like state and place? I was curious

[jrgarza]

I go on The House to the cleareance section to buy all of the gear i get and it is amazing cause it is all clothes and gear that is last years model and it is so much more cheaper

[priyankak.]

This is an awesome channel idea! Looking forward to future videos :)

Thanks for the succinct explanation! Moving to the northeast later this year and interested in getting into snowboarding when the winter comes. Been slowly finding deals on apparel and head/face gear; thinking about finding boots on sale during the summer. Good to know that the sequence I had in mind matches your advice!

I am going for a 4 month ski season renting is like 270 but i dunno if i should buy gear or 2nd hand or just rent.

[hi-czrj]

I need to take more advantage of the second hand market. I'm Vancouver BC there's lots of gear heads so you can get really great prices on barely used equipment

I just went on fb and found a bag, board, boots, binding, goggles, helmet, and pants for 200
