Ok we all have made the odd boo boo when buying boards, boots and what have you but here are five things you should Never do.

1. Buy a board just because you think it looks good

2. Buy boots without trying them on ( now if you buy them online thats fine as you can always get your money back, at least go into a store and find out your size )

3. Buy anything just because it’s on sale ( sales are cool, but check that it’s not crap they are selling off )

4. Don’t let someone tell you its better to start with skis

5. Buy a board just so it can fit in your car
