Gear is great, everyone secretly loves getting new snowboard kit and trying it out for the first time, whoopin’ and hollerin’ down the hill safe in the knowledge that whilst there is now a massive hole in your wallet, it was at least worth it.

But the problem with snowboard gear is that not only is it damn expensive, chances to get some use out of it are few and far between. Most of us only get one or two weeks a year on the white stuff, and even those lucky enough to live the seasonaire life still have to pack it all away again after five short months.

So when summer rolls round you get left with some very pricey but utterly useless – and sometime pretty large – bits of kit kicking around your house, getting in the way and gathering dust.

Here at WL hq we’re nothing if not helpful, so we’ve come up with a few ideas on how to utilise your snowboarding gear 365 days of the year. All it takes is a bit of creativity and some elbow grease for you too to have the most pimped out shred crib out of all our your friends!
