I am going snowboarding for the first time.?

Question

I have several questions. What to wear? What size board for a 13 year old (thats me) and how fun is it in general. PLEASE HELLPPP!!! i especially need help on what to wear and where to find this stuff!

Answer 1

Bring good gloves and a helmet (you'll be falling a lot if you're a beginner). Also essential are waterproof/breathable snow pants, since you'll spend a lot of time on your knees and butt.

Up top, layer up with a base wicking shirt, turtleneck or thin fleece and cover it all up with a waterproof/breathable shell jacket.

Size of the board depends on weight & height, but something like a 135-145 cm board should do the trick. Burton makes LTR boards that are really easy to learn on.

Answer 2

Wear very waterproof clothes!!! You will fall. The board size will all depend on how tall you are, you can go to a store near you and they can help you.  Snowboarding is so fun but just stick with it, many people I know thought it was too hard their first time and quit. I recommend you first rent the equipment so you can find out if you even like it! Good luck and have fun out there!

Answer 3

E-diddys right. Waterproof close and such. A store or shop or such should be able to give you pointers and sometimes you can go to their sites and they'll have the whole Q&A stuff, heh..
