AltaVista and HotBot here.
I used to use AllTheWeb until they took away my favourite category.

TSA don't stock Atomic boards.

Not really up on Atomic TBH. Checked out their site and they reckon it's good :D

Prefer the all mountain boards to the freestyles myself, I'm too old for all that messing about in the park stuff!

I'm a relative noob, so I need a bit of torsional flex. My options are limited by that, plus my foot size (I really need a wide board) and my weight (Not all boards go up to my weight in their range).

Blimey Altavista is a blast from the past! That used to be my favourite search engine too until I was googled and now it just comes as habit to use it.

I agree with Big D though google does seem to be geared to buying products rather than finding out information about them. I usually find what I want though.

+1, but you'd think typing 'review' or 'user review' would help :oops:

Google does search for the correct spelling if you spell it wrongly btw.

For example:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=gogle+ ... =firefox-a

Google is always my first port of call when it comes to looking for stuff.

If I know something is a wiki-esque subject then I'll use wiki.

Only once have I ever used Wolfram Alpha for a proper search.

In the years BG I used Lycos, Excite, AltaVista, AskJeeves as well as some others.
