Don't know about their snowboards, but their ski's rock.
At this time of year, I'd wait until the end of season, you might get it cheaper then. |

It's a Pow stick, if you want to ride it over the whole hill it will work ok but not as good as reg boards. In terms of level it can be ridden by pretty much anyone as it's pretty soft.
Rode the 175 and it's ok, wasn't riding in Pow tho so not really using it for what it's for. |

| It's not cheap for something you're gonna use once or twice a year. |

you will never find a Selecta for under 300 euros , no chance, must be stolen.
The board is sick, purely sick... a powder riding dream
Also a nice ride on the pistes, with a mid flex, and progressive shape. A conoisseurs board |

yeah, from all accounts its a great choice.
Volkl have put a lot of thought and energy into designing, testing and producing their snowboards and didnt rush them out like many other companies.
I ride the volkl wall am which I got at a steal and I'm pleased with it.
Like all things it's a matter of preference, but i think you could do a lot worse than buying a volkl! |

Wait until the end of the season...
I was drooling over the same board all of last leason (to be honest I think last year's looks better than the new 'revised' one...but that's just my opinion), but couldn't justify spending £450 on another board.
Just for waiting a few months until the end of the season...I got it for £250...from Snow+Rock.
Result!!
I suppose it's a matter of risk, though. You could find that you can't get one at all. But at the end of the day it's a snowboard...plenty of other equally good ones around. |

My mate did something similar, he got last seasons Selecta off eBay in October for £275 (delivered). He loves it, even on piste. |
