This morning, I went to Chicks in Pasadena to rent a snowboard before driving on over to Mt. Baldy for some fun in the snow. The clerk there told me the selections were dwindling because they were putting all their snowboard rental equipments on clearance. Fortunately for me the board + boots my size were still available.
I was told I could rent them for $30 or just purchase them for $40. My first reaction was :Q. Even though they are heavily used, you can't beat that.
Here's their homepage.
Oh, please don't ask me about brand names and such. I'm new at snowboarding.
UPDATE, 4/9/05: You guys gotta keep in mind that these are rental equipments so of course they are not going to be the best brand or in the best shape. It's always gonna be YMMV too depending on your size and what store you go to. The board I got has the snap-on binding which is crappy for pro-boarders but is suited fine for a beginner like me.

BTW, this is intended for those with Chicks around their area. I'm not buying and shipping anything to anyone.
