From the rhythmic lapping of Howe Sound's waves to the crisp crunch of snow beneath my board, my heart finds solace in both the sea and the slopes. Join me as I transition from the tranquil waters to the exhilarating mountains, sharing tales of snowboarding adventures and the lessons they've taught me.
While the sea offers a calm embrace, the mountains challenge with their unpredictable terrains. But at the heart of both is a profound respect for nature and its elements. The same wind that fills my boat’s sails also carves patterns in the snow, reminding me of the interconnectedness of these two worlds.
Becoming a certified snowboarding instructor was not just about mastering the sport but understanding the essence of teaching. Every student brought a unique challenge, a different pace, and a personal fear to conquer. And with each lesson, I learned more about patience, communication, and the joy of watching someone find their rhythm on the slopes.
