How to snowboard
How I did it: Lots of hard work and dedication... and amazing encouragement from my BF who was an awesome snowboarder to begin with,.. and an awesome teacher!! I had skiied before, but because everyone else i knew boarded i wanted to try it, and become proficient at it... it took me a week straight in august (Remember i lived in the snow from arch - october!) to finally get it.. then when i did it was magical! I got over the frustration and started enjoying the sport! Then the season ended :( and i cried :(
Lessons & tips: DONT GIVE UP!!! EVER!!! and make sure you have the right boots.... i think i ended up with a size too small (i brought my own gear!) and ended up with ingrown toenails by the end, which put me out for about 6 weeks, and was incredibly painful
Resources: My boyfriend, friends, and Jason, Luke and Chels at NZ SHRED who were my amazing encouraging sales people/ friends lol.... my gear was perfect so thanks a bunch for the set up! xo
