First attempt

We tried our first attempt on a snowboard yesterday in perfect conditions here on yellowknife Bay. having never been on a snowboard before and very poor with skies, we stuck to the 5 meter Montana, which worked ok for this try. Managed a few short runs. Looking forward to the next day.

Finally enough daylight to get out ??? :puzzled:

I am biased but think that with NO experience with either short skiis would be a good way to start. It is so much easier dealing with the kite with skis + you can launch with the skis on while standing up :!:

Thanks, we sure did consider the short skis and may yet go that way. Our background is land board and buggy so snowboard seemed right for us. Time will tell. yes, we have more hours of daylight then you guys down "south"now.:D
