Buying Your First Snowboard? Here’s Where to Start.

Buying your first snowboard can feel like decoding a foreign language—camber, rocker, flex, sidecut… it’s enough to make you grab a rental forever.

Don’t worry we got you..

Doe's Twelve Board Store do packages?

Of course we do.  However we don't believe that you should have to buy a ready made package of set boot's, board and bindings.  We believe in choice.  When you shop here we can make anything into a discounted package for you.  The main thing is it's the right gear for you, to make your time on the snow exactly what it is meant to be.

Here’s how to buy your first snowboard without wasting cash—or worse, getting a setup that kills your stoke.

Step 1: Choose Where You’re Buying From

Forget the cheap warehouse deals. You need:

  • A shop that stocks quality boards for real conditions.

  • Staff who can fit your boots and stance.

  • A place that actually rides and tests the gear they sell.

That’s Twelve.

Step 2: Get the Right Size

Your mate’s size isn’t your size. We’ll measure your weight, height, boot size, and how you plan to ride to match you with the right board.

No “one size fits all” rubbish here.

Step 3: Don’t Forget Boots

Your boots matter more than your board. We’ll heat mould, fit, and tweak until your boots feel like an extension of your feet—no heel lift, no crushed toes.

Step 4: Ask Questions

Want to know what camber will feel like vs. rocker? What width you need? Our crew will break it down in English, not tech speak.

Why Buy From Twelve?

We’re not here to sell you the most expensive board; we’re here to get you on the right board. It’s why so many riders come back season after season.
