Snowboarding is an incredibly fashionable and costly kind of extreme sport. Of course, it is very traumatic, both for beginners and for riders with experience. However, if you decide to do this, go ahead!
How to learn to snowboard: the very beginning
With all the apparent simplicity of the question, it is difficult to answer it quickly and unambiguously. First of all, you need special equipment - if the board itself with attachments and boots can be hired almost near any popular slope, then with clothes it will not be so easy to get rid of. If you have a ski suit - you can first go to the mountain in it. The fact is that for the first time you are unlikely to avoid falls, and in fact the suit for racing on snowboarding is equipped with everything necessary to keep your body safe and sound. If you plan to seriously engage in snowboarding freestyle or learn another type of riding, it is still worth buying a suit or overalls.
Training in snowboarding
At developed resorts or simply in ads, you may well find yourself a snowboard instructor. This is the best and safest option. The instructor will be able to intelligibly explain to you all the wisdom of strut, movement and maneuvering. Such services are quite affordable, and the more capable you are, the less snowboard lessons you will have to take.
If you can not afford an instructor, then you can ask the most experienced of your friends to explain to you how to ride a snowboard. Remember: not every person is endowed with oratorical gift and can intelligibly explain to you his experience, so it is important to choose a friend who has a fairly well-developed speech.
