Ski or board?

[Guest]

I used to ski but gave it up for boarding in 1998. Never again will I have my feet on 2 boards :P

I cross country ski when its deep enough. No trails though - just around the neighborhood or in open fields.

No half-pipe then?

You're joking right????

Nope wouldn't do it even if I could.

I would like to try snowboarding, I did the skate board thing 25 years ago, no trick stuff just pure speed, parking decks and steep hills. Doing some kind of solom on a snow board would be enough for me, I am a little big to be grabbing air but I do dig on speed! I would like to try a water surf board somtime too, but at 280lbs I think that I would need a 30' board!

Wakeboard or inland surfing? I have a 220 lb friend that does both.

Most common snow boarding injury is broken wrists. Many gloves have wrist guards built in. Most common ski injury--soft tissue knee (ortho surgery). Most boarders are mountain carvers.Highly recommended.
