Snowboard Hire - Borovets

Guess which dummy forgot to arrange Snowboard hire for my son when booking the holiday?
Anyone suggest anywhere reliable and reasonable to hire a snowboard for Borovets w/c 23rd Jan?

Maybe I should hire it here and take it with me?

cheers

Hi, last year i hired from the place outside the door of the rila, i had no trouble with my gear, but it was my first snowboard holiday so i didn't know any diffrent. There is a company called Edge 2 Edge and if you hire with them, they deliever it to the airport for you. Hope this is some help.

Edge 2 edge is very good, they have a website and are based in Crawley, not far from Gatwick Airport, I have purchased items from them in the past and they have always been very helpful.

re: Snowboard Hire - Borovets

Sorted - Stefan at Hunters has sent me his prices(£34.5 Board and Boots for the week) and details of his location. I could have done it cheaper but he's really fast to respond to email and that makes me feel comfortable (illogical but there you go!)
Many Thanks.
