Learn to ride with fingers in a fist, to avoid finger smashing. In a backwards fall it is best to go to the butt and roll onto the back, keeping the chin in your chest, lift board until you stop. It is best in a forward fall to fall to the knee and forearm (do not stiff arm on the palms) and then lift the board in the air until you stop. Where skiers tend to fall to the right or left snowboarders fall forward or backwards onto their face or butt. Snowboarders fall differently than skiers do.
Most boarders who have also skied agree that boarding is initially more difficult than skiing but after learning the basics the intermediate and advanced levels are achieved more quickly.Įdging and balancing skills are more important from the outset because your feet are secured, you can’t step from foot to foot, and you don’t have the use of poles as skiers do. PSIA (Professional Ski Instructors of America) and CSF (Canadian Snowboard Federation) now certifies snowboard instructors and most resorts which allow boarding will have instructors on staff. Taken slow and with the right guidance boarding can be quicker to learn than skiing. A good point to keep in mind here is that snowboarding doesn’t have to be painful.
