Answer 1

I'm a Junior Snowboard instructor at the resort I work at

you want to first always wear a helmet, no matter how good you are,

second when you start out, you need to find out if you are goofy or regular, regular is when you put your left foot as your front foot,

and goofy is when you put your right foot forward,

once you've figured that out try "skateing" around at the bottom of the hill you're on, skateing means just take your back foot out, and push yourself around with it, get the feel of your board, then if you are at a resort, go up to the lift, usually if you are on the begginner life it'll go slow, just skate up to where marked, and sit, easy enough, now when you get off, make sure nobody is in front of you, and you can just go straight, keep your weigh equal and just chill, then strap yourself in and you can start down the hill, the BIGGEST THING IN SNOWBOARDING IS YOUR BALANCE.  You want to keep about 80% of your weigh on your front foot, and 20 on your back, if you lean back, you will fall, just dont' lose your head and start to lean back, i know you are going to start going faster if you lean forward, but you can control your board by tipping your feet back and forward, if your left foot forward, tip forward to go right, tip backward to go left, don't tip to much though, caus then you might lose balance.

Answer 2

Well you should learn to ski first and then try to snow board
