People usually stumble upon snowboarding through friends or by word of mouth, they decide that snowboarding does look like a lot of fun, and resolve to give it a try. More often than not, after their first encounter with snowboarding, they get hooked with it. In fact, you'll doubtlessly have a hard time finding someone who tried snowboarding and was afterwards disappointed with the experience. Consequently, snowboarding has exploded as a recreational physical activity over the past two decades.
One of the reasons why the snowboarding industry has seen such a boom is because it gives you freedom to choose between high speed adrenaline rushes, complex snowboarding tricks, and taking a simple relaxing ride down the mountain. Not only that, snowboarding has so much to offer:
- Different snowboard riding styles to choose from and develop yourself in
- Breathtaking terrains as you travel across the world looking for the greatest and most exciting runs
- Amazing adrenaline rushes in performing snowboard aerial tricks and high speed runs
- A great variety of very cool snowboard gear that will further improve your snowboarding skills and make you look like a snow pro in no time.
- A graduated learning curve with most snowboarding newbies being able to hit their first slope after 2-3 days
- Enough challenges, techniques, and styles to keep you hooked for years
- Different kinds of snowboarding terrains to master ranging from well groomed ski slopes to backcountry wilderness
- Different kinds of snow conditions to master, ranging from fresh powder (lovely) to ice (not so nice)
- International competitions and events to either visit or to compete in
- Hundred thousands of fellow snowboard enthusiasts that all share your passion
Imagine this:
You are surfing through knee-deep powder on a steep mountain slope in an weightless state. As if you're flying, you feel the swooshing of air on your skin as you pick up speed. The sun warms your face as you carve one high speed turn after another. The mountain is yours. You have complete freedom to cruise your snowboard wherever you want it to take you. As you slalom through the trees, you notice an excellent take off platform and decide to go for it: you bend your knees a little more as your speed increases, you lift off, make a perfect 360 turn before landing safely on both feet. Adrenaline rushes through your body as you gradually decrease your speed and take it easy to enjoy the exceptional views as you head to your favorite ski lodge for a nice cup of coffee with your buddies.
