Airwalk Snowboard: A Cool
Concept
Airwalk is a world renowned brand primarily kicked into the
spotlight through their footwear pitched at skaters. Airwalk’s
brand profile fits the mould and as a result have the right fit
and attitude that the snowboarding fraternity can clearly
relate to. The concept of an Airwalk snowboard is in theory
cool.
Breaking into another sector of extreme sports you can’t
help but think that this could possibly be a passing fad and
possibly another finely tuned marketing strategy. Do it justice
though and check out an Airwalk snowboard but keep your options
open and be objective as this is an area that they are trying
to break into. Overtime you may well find an Airwalk snowboard
being a common sight on the slopes.
For the moment there isn’t too much info or feedback on the
quality or performance of these boards. As with any snowboard
brand, reputation is earned not bought.
Generally you’ll find the pricing of an Airwalk snowboard to be
fairly competitive. Aesthetics are definitely top quality and
make a large impact. If it’s image you are going for without a
doubt an Airwalk snowboard will be the board for you.
You will find an Airwalk snowboard generally caters for the
rider that is starting out and are not primarily pitched at the
hardcore rider. I’m sure this will evolve over time as riders
get to grips with the product and its reputation increases.
