re: SnowBoarding

our kids have converted to boarding. They actually wanted to set fire to the skis as they don't wanna go back.

Hi Hannah

He didn't get confused at all and really enjoyed it - I hired him two sets of gear so a bit more expensive but hired his snowboard stuff over here for £40 (boots, bindings and board) for the week so wasn't really that bad and meant he could just do what he wanted when out there. I think he really liked having the choice of doing what he wanted when he wanted - but hey thats kids for you always happy if they are doing what they want lol.

re: SnowBoarding

All my family do both. It has to be said, it's only myself that enjoys doing both. The other three members of the family prefer to board.

re: SnowBoarding

Hi hannah

I can do both Wink but i much prefer to board.

I`d suggest you get to a resonable level in either skiing or boading before you try the other one out,imho i think this makes it easier especially if you learn to ski first.

whatever happens enjoy the sport.

ps when you learn to board

MAKE SURE YOU WEAR
WRIST GUARDS
IMPACT SHORTS
CRASH HELMET
these are a must especially the wrist guards
