Well i am from South Africa, yeah crazy i know as we dont have much snow.

Yes 38, crazy i know as i am to old to start snowboarding.

Butt what the hell, life is about experiences, journeys and memories, so snowboarding here i come.

Had my first lesson on what is called a ski deck here in SA, a carpet water to provide some slip at a slope. I was almost dead, it was hectic hard, but they say if you can master the ski deck snow is much easier.

We have a ski resort, nothing compared to those in Europe or USA in Lesotho, and i hope to go boarding there in June if i can stand and balance.

Yeah, most probably to old to start but what the hell.
