Final Projects Favorites

I really liked the Decks for Days business model.  I began my quest to learn how to snowboard this past 2010-2011 ski season, but as a skier I understand the difficulties both in time and money that it takes to travel with skis or snowboards.  It is easy enough taking your equipment with you on a roadtrip, but I can't imagine the cost it would be for me to travel to Colorado or Utah.  Especially since I like to ski and snowboard.  If I am on a week long ski trip I might want to switch each day or every few days, but to travel with two sets of equipment and the way airlines charge now is obsurd.  Decks for Day solves my problems! I am sure it is cheaper to have the equipment shipped than it is to bring on flights.  I also do not wan't my snowboard to have the "United Breaks Guitar" fate either.  I think this model would also be good for those looking to purchase a new board.  Sometimes you want to try to different brands, but rental companies tend to have extremely warn out or non-brand equipment which makes comparisons for shopping purposes difficult.  One difficulty for Deck for Days would be keeping prices competitive.  Not only are they renting equipment, but also shipping it and for customers to opt for this option there prices need to be lower than rental companies both locally and at ski resorts.
