Rome Snowboard from 2006

Topic: Rome Snowboard from 2006

Hi all,

I bought a Rome snowboard from a ski/snowboarding store in California sometime around 2006, a few years after Rome just started as a company, and was told that back then it was one of the best available (I think it was a custom/rare model). Unfortunately, it was later destroyed (long story), and now I am in the market to get a new one from one of the many companies out there.

Before doing so, I wanted to ask if my Rome snowboard was actually any good compared to what is on the market now? Should I be regretting that it was destroyed, or are there better snowboards out there now that make Rome boards pale in comparison?

Thanks to share your perspective so I can get over my unfortunate loss and look forward to something new and exciting!

Best bet is to head some where you can test several boards out. I think the Shop at Hemel will let you try boards.
I think you being told Rome was the best brand may have been a bit of sales patter, they do make sick stuff though.
There are loads of awesome brands out there.
