Snowboarding is fun. I like it second to wakeboarding of course. Nothing compares to wakeboarding!

I'm looking forward to snowboarding this year to work on my switch riding and jumping.

to me snowboarding seemed a lot different turning.

Snowboarding is fun, but it doesn't quite compare to wakeboarding to me. Also I find air-awareness to be much different between the two sports. I can't do half the grabs on a snowboard that I can on a wakeboard, due to the pull of the rope obviously. But never the less its fun to ride some kind of board when the lakes are frozen.

Snowboarding is really really fun.
i just started this year, it takes a little while to get solid... but from then on it's smooth sailing!
you'll love it, but wakeboarding definantley is better.
you'll see when when your getting off a chairlift and some 50 year old dude crashes into to you, and stabs you in the back with his ski poles...aaaah

crashes seem to hurt a little more. a little differnet, but one trip down the hill and you're prolly good to go. helluva lot better than waiting for spring.

in my opinion, the only thing snowboarding has in common with wakeboarding is that there is a board strapped to your feet. When you're in knee-deep POW ... there is nothing like it!

And when you're with all your buddies in the water, on your boat, chillen with tunes and hitting the wakes..... there is nothing like it!

I found snow boarding to be a lot easier than I thought it would be.
