m8, you couldn't have said anything less in so many words...
sooo... you want something soft for park - indoor jib-park thing, outdoor park and bigger booters or even something more rail-specific with rounded edges?
wanting something now or advice for gear to get at the start of next season? (less choice now, but cheaper)
Want rocker/camber/flat/varient? what have you ridden, what do you like?
at the end of the day you'll get everyone raving about their kit with little benefit to you and your riding style...
oh, and you'll want to look at a Never Summer Evo, some Union Contacts (possibly Pros) with something like Salomon Dialogue boots... just saying  |

| Evo is a great board. You are going to have to pay 3.7% duty on the board and shipping plus 20% VAT on the board, the shipping and the duty. Only the tax man can tax you on the tax but it is true - this is what he does! You may also have to pay some customs clearance and handling charges. It is also going to be pretty difficult to make a warranty claim, should you ever need to. There is a whole thread on the pros and cons of importing o the forum. check it out. |

| Claiming an import is a gift is fraud. The fines are huge if you get caught. Customs are not stupid, they know about 'loop holes' like this. It is dead easy for them to check if an item is really a gift or not. They simply contact the sender and ask them if they sent you a free snowboard. They do not even need to do this - they can see it has been sent by a snowboard shop and even the nicest shops do not send out snowboards for free. While all this checking is going on, your board is stuck in customs and does not get delivered until you cough up the duty, the VAT and the fine. It has not happened to me personally but I do know people who have had this problem on other products (not snowboards) but the principle is the same. It is not worth the risk. |

| not to mention that gifts are eligible for tax anyway... (i think there's a sticky in equipment section about import fees an what you can/can't expect to pay) |

| You want to think about the insurance implications if your board gets lost or damaged in transit and it's valued at less than you payed for it. |
