Needless to say, it took a while before I got on a board. I picked up wakeboarding during the summers, and I LOVE IT!!!
When Travis and I were dating, I distinctly remember telling him (after the longboard and broken collarbone incident), "I will NEVER go snowboarding! NEVER!"
I was pretty adamant about it, because in my mind I imagined snowboarding as
cold.
wet.
falling.
Well.... I EAT MY WORDS! I went snowboarding Christmas Eve for the first time and I LOVED IT! It was fun! I fell a few times, but mostly I was able to get the hang of it! My wakeboarding experience really helped! Super fun, and I think I'll go a lot more often. Travis is a wonderful teacher! He was so patient with me, and helped me along the whole way! Now Travis has a snowboarding buddy and his season pass won't go to waste!
So moral of the story... never say never, because that thing just might happen, and you just might like it!

YAY!!! did you use wrist guards?? hehe now we can all go together!!
I got up 2 times on the wakeboard, proud of myself, i let go and got back into the boat, the whole getting out of control and face hitting the water doesn't do anything for me, and same with the snowboard, i have all the gear to go, but don't like the impact if i were to fall..and then there's the whole wrist thing...but i'm glad you are having fun! stay safe! and wear a helmet.
