Lost in Austria: From One Board to Another
OK, so I agreed to attempt snowboarding for two reasons today:
1. Nick said he thought I'd love it because it would be like surfing, but on the snow
2. I thought, "Hell, I can surf (sort of). I should be able to snowboard too. And I should love this sport, it's like surfing but on snow."
OK, yes it is, but no not really. First off, falling on a snowboard hurts a hell of a lot more than falling off a surfboard.
Water = Soft
Snow = Hard
Not so good for my little butt which I probably won't be able to sit down on again until next winter.
Second of all, a snowboard seems to accelerate a hell of a lot faster than a surfboard. Which often leads me to falling. Often. Also not so good. If I can just get the hang of this I think I could totally get into it. But right now I have a concussion so I'm going to bed.
And yes, Emily, I have invested in a helmut. I should have listened to you in the first place and bought one before I even tried this out. Lesson learned.
