Is snowboarding easier or harder than wakeboarding?

Question

i already know how to wakeboard. i want to learn how to snowboard. im 13. im just wondering, is snowboarding easier or harder to learn than wakeboarding? in general, how long does it take to be "OK" at snowboarding? oh and i have been skiing since i was like 5 or something. snowboarding seems like its really hard...

Answer 1

Snowboarding i think is a little harder but not to bad just because the snow can be icy and u go faster and you need alot of balance i have been wakeboarding for 3months a year since i was 14 and i have been snowboarding for longer i think it is harder still

Answer 2

Easier

Way harder to get up and out the water on a wakeboard than it is to stop a snowboard...and its the same motion just reverse.

And with skiing and wakeboarding under your belt I think by the 2nd time down the hill youll probably make it down without falling...almost

Answer 3

Well, I think that it may not be easier to learn, but you'll probably have a couple of advantages because of wakeboarding. If you define "ok" as an intermediate level, I'd say (if you ride for whole seasons/more than 3 weeks year) probably 6months/year? It really depends. Also, skiing gives you an advantage because you know how the edges of snowboards work: ie. don't put your downhill edge down!

Goodluck :)

Answer 4

well i think that you need more balance to wake board but you need more stability and strength to snowboard. I live in Florida so i wake board alot but i don't snowboard alot so it is harder so it depends. and also if you want to do tricks and flips or just rip for fun so i think they are even. and snowboarding is a little harder
