I'm looking to get an Airwalk Snowboard. just wondering if they are any good?

Airwalk was best known in the 1980s and early 1990s as a footwear company percifically for the skateboard market. They became really popular but sold out a bit and became less specialised and started making other products, and the quality of there products seemed to dip a bit. I imagine there must have been a change of owner or something around the mid 1990s but im not sure on that one?. Ive never seen an Airwalk snowboard but im pretty sure they wouldent be that good. Its just a footwear company jumping on the snowboarding bandwagon. If snowboarding became less popular they would drop there range instantly, and bring out a range of inline skates or wakeboards or whatever the new fad is. You should buy a board made by a proper snowboard company or ski company. If you go to a proper snowboard shop all the boards in there will be good boards, they may not suit you percifically due to your level of riding or weight, size etc, but there will be a board there for you. You wont find makes like Airwalk or Vision in a proper snowboard shop.

Also poplular big corparte brands like Burton do make good boards but there are many other brands also that make just as good boards. For example if you are into freeriding Palmer and Nitro make excellent boards but hardly anyone mentions those brands on this site. Its the same with freestyle boards theres alot of small independant companys making good stuff, Battaleon make fantastic boards also Apo and Capita make good products also.

Forum itself was an independant brand before being bought out by Burton. So have a good look around and find the board that suits you best, rather than just going for a Burton or Forum board because thats what most people seem to buy. Hope this helps, Good luck.

^burton owns forum. And the people who founded Rome were perviouse employees of burton who felt burton was getting to corporate and growing away from the true roots of snowboarding so they broke off and founded their own company. 70% of the market in snowboarding is dominated by burton, k2, and quick silver.

and no airwalk sucks, they've went way down hill, apparently they use to be half decent in the 90's but now there stuff sold as wall mart and payless shoes source. Post an other question with your wight riding style, budget and place you ride im sure people would be able to recomend something to you.

Never heard of it. Anyone who pays attention to snowboarding will tell you Burton. Burton's are good, maybe the best, but there is some stiff competition. Rome and I think Forum's roots came from Burton. I heard Burton owns like, 70% of the market. For an idea, they own at least: Forum, Foursquare, Special Blend, Analog, and R.E.D.. Those companies cover boards, protection, and outerwear. I started out renting Burtons like six years ago, then I got my k2. And this season, I'm going to buy a Burton for the park.

Apparently, people like Rome, Arbor, and Burton.
