Snowboard Lesson

Hi there all! If you've just started out snowboarding or have been doing it for ages the merits of a snowboard lesson should not be over-looked. I've been snowboarding for over 15 years now and when I first started there weren't that many instructors around to even get a snowboard lesson from, I wish there had been as it would of made my progression through the sport so much easier.

Nowdays, instead of the "trial by error, watch your mates, hope like hell you get down the mountain in one piece attempts", there are plenty of qualified instructors at ski-resorts to get you going or help push you to the next level of snowboarding. I recommend, even after 15+ years, getting a refresher lesson at the start of every season and another mid-way to push you further. Of course, if you're only doing 5 or 6 days in a season then perhaps only the first snowboard lesson is for you.

If you're a 5 or 6 day rider or perhaps 3 or 4 weekends and a mid-winter break from work for a week then you really want to maximize your time on the mountain. To be honest, who really wants to sit around getting cold while the instructor tells you to "keep your knees bent and look over your shoulder to the direction you want to go". You want to be out there ripping it up with your mates, shredding lines and laughing all the way to the lift-line.

Well.... now you can maximize that time, by getting the snowboard lesson at home, getting the fundamentals down then dialling them in on the hill. The team at Snowboard Addiction have put together a fantastic snowboard lesson package for first timers, riders who want to ride like the pro's or those just wanting to push their boundaries just that bit further. The lessons come in readable manuals, videos and podcast which you can wack on your Ipod and listen to while you ride, DVD's and even one to one phone tuiton. The prices are fantastic, cheaper than lessons at a resort where you'll have to try and remember everything you were tought. In fact with these lessons you can go back over and over and learn at a pace that is going to suit you. Click here to improve your snowboard skills now.
