i suggest trying to ski before boarding, just to get balance down... they are both different things, but skiing is a lot easier, itll bring your confidence up :thumbup:
Wrong!!!
I taught for three years and the hardest people to teach were those who skiied before because the physics are 100% different from board to ski.
It is easier to go in with a clean slate and just listen to the instructor and trust them to teach you correctly. It has zero in common with skateboarding except trick names, it is more like a combo of surfing and water skiing than any other sport out there.
