Depending on what board brand you're after, you can call local shops to rent (with your rental going towards purchase) any of their decks.
I know for a fact that the boardroom demos a few brands.
Really worth considering making the trip up to whistler and taking advantage of the on hill FREE demo that's available.
That's how my gf demo'd the burton flying v style of board. The cost is perfect and they have a wide variety of sizes, models and brands you can choose from
