Kids need adult boards just as little as they need adult coaching methods. What they do need is a program of courses which is adjusted to their strength and kinetic learning capability and training that is all fun and no hassle.

In the Kids Courses A – E, they don’t just learn what is taught in the Basic 1 – 3 courses adapted to their development potential. For the first time they are able to ride full speed in snow with kids of the same age.

Basic 1

4 – 5 lessons: Getting used to your board – diagonal sliding and traversing – changing direction with the basic turn – braking and stopping – using skilifts

Basic 2

Above all you want to have fun snowboarding and be able to ride anywhere. Freestyle, Freeride and Carving are all included and it doesn’t matter which binding or board you use.
The main thing is you have a great time!

In the Allround Courses you get to try out all aspects of snowboarding. It makes a complete snowboarder out of you and provides you with the best possible basis to turn you into a Freestyle, Freeride or Carve and Speed specialist.

You want to widen your range of tricks, identify your limits in the park and pipe. As far as you are concerned, extended airs and spins are what real snowboarding is all about.
But smooth, powerful riding over the piste must not be neglected because even such a slope should be used creatively.

For this you get fitted out with the racy Freestyle board and softboots with the right support.
