Get some elbow, knee, wrist, ankle guards and a helmet as you will be doing a lot of falling about in the first couple days. Enjoy it and good luck!!

Blimey Horster. You must look like a armoured knight when you're boarding.Gloves with built in wrist protectors and a helmet me thinks is plenty and if you're going to get new boarding pants, try and get the ones with knee padding.

Just remember if you fall, land on ya butt, not ya face. It's softer.

re: re:
I managed without any knee, elbow or wrist guards. The worst injury I got was falling over on the ice at 2.30 in the morning and landing on my wrist. Ouch.

The gloves that I use has a removable support which gives you the best of both worlds.
Happy boarding Alison.
