Snowboarding is one of the biggest winter sports on the planet, long been considered a fun-filled and adventurous recreational activity as well an on official Olympic event that hosts annual tournaments and competitions around the world. As a result, the sport is taken very seriously. So much so that it’s evolved and differentiated into many categories itself, each focusing on a different aspect of snowboarding such as speed, free-style, control and jumps.
The sport is also a seriously contested one, with professionals going all out with their training and practice, as well as equipping themselves with the best gear that money has to offer. Yet, in the process, we can forget that snowboarding is all about having a great time with friends. Snowboards do not need to be so expensive or luxurious at all, and the EmscoGroup 1069-4-1 Graffiti Snowboard is proof.

As Simple as Possible
The design of the entire EmscoGroup Graffiti Snowboard is extremely simplistic, owing to the low production cost. Yet, this isn’t like the other snowboards available in the market. It’s meant purely for people who just want to enjoy the snowboarding experience for the lowest price possible. It’s highly affordable, making it an excellent low-budget option.
The board is made of wood, with customizable graphics, making it not only a snowboard, but your very own canvas, letting you express yourself through you snowboard, without doing any of the tricks. It’s also very light, due to low quality input materials used to make it. Yet, it’s still durable enough to perform on the snow when needed.

Step-In Bindings
Not everyone has the time or the money to dedicate to snowboarding, and treat it as only an occasional recreational hobby. In that case, people usually rent snowboards, but why rent one when you can permanently buy one for the same price. That’s the purpose of this board, for people who occasionally want to ride the snowy hill. It even has step-in binding straps to safely secure you to the board when in use.
Though the strap on the Graffiti Snowboard may not be of the best quality, it certainly does the job. In the end, the final product allows you to do medium intensity use like gliding, racing or curving, but jumping and tricks are very difficult.

Verdict
Needless to say that the EmscoGroup Graffiti Snowboard is one of the most budget friendly options in the market, allowing virtually anyone to try their luck at the sport. It comes at minimum investment, so it’s ideal for beginners or vacationers/tourists who occasionally visit the snowy areas for the thrill of snowboarding.
The features are very few, and it’s the most basic snowboard in terms of quality. You can colour in its graphics, so that’s a good advantage, but is of little use. Hence, it is not recommended for professionals or anyone taking the sport seriously.
