Being that I was born and raised in HI, Surfing and Skateboarding was the 2 things that came hand in hand. Being doing both at the age of 3. Come from a surfing family that competed professionally from my unkos to my cousins as myself. When I moved to WA in 08 we transitioned to the mountain and snowboarding was out go to. We also Surfed at Westport threw out the year in wetsuit (sucks wearing a wetsuit). Standing on the board was easy, the turning part was hard. Surfing/Skateboarding we use our rear leg to turn and Snowboarding is the opposite. It only took a day of wipeouts to get used to the turning. My now 12 year old that was born here in WA, never stepped on a board in his life, but went down the bunny slope hill at 3. He did very good on his fist day and now he comes on the black diamonds with us every time.
