Does anyone have a snowboard that we can borrow?

JOE reader Niall Carroll decided to take his snowboard and 8.5m felxifoil (that's a really big kite) up to the Mourne Mountains in Co. Down today for a spot of snowkiting, or ‘kiteboarding’ as it’s also known, and the resulting footage looks like great craic. It just goes to show that you actually can snowboard in Ireland... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10LEcAZxTRk&feature=youtu.be Speaking out his day on the Irish slopes, Niall said: "A few of us from Dundalk headed up to the Mourne Mountains just over the border today to go snowboarding and snowkiteing in the fresh snow up there, it was waist deep in places and great craic..." Looks like Buddy had fun... IMG_3131   Who's a good boy? Video/Pics via Niall Carroll .
