I have leared how to snowboard just recently, and I LOVE IT!!! It's such a great rush. I have learned on an artificial slope and I am amazed how easy boarding is on snow if you learn on artificial slope.Winter and snow, hurry up! I ride perfect board for me, it's K2 Moment, it's just so beautifull and perfect. My husband bought it for me, he has the credit for getting me into snowboarding.
