Afraid i've not seen any, Decathlon had loads of wintersports gear a few weeks agao - so they might be worth checking out?!
if not you'll just have to try your hardest not to fall over!!
Im going out on the 5th march too from manchester airport and i cant wait!
I'm also a first timer so i dont really know what to expect, but i will be having lessons while i,m there. Only 9 days to go!
Me and a friend flying from manchester I've boarded for a few years but Ash is a 1st timer although hes skied and wake boarded so he should pickit up quickly. Not sure where we are staying yet as its a Allocate on arrival deal.
Buck if you looking for another skilled boarder to ride with whist your mates are learning gis a shout, the lad I'm going with will be learning too so I'll be on my own too.
