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.

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 a slope should be used creatively. 

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

Whether you prefer piste or backcountry, complete mastery of the board on the ground and in the air is a must if you want to enjoy unrestricted freeriding. We’ll make a backcountry specialist out of you with the first rules of conduct and tactical slope know-how. 

You’ll be fitted out with the directional Freeride or Freestyle board and soft boots with good support or with a step-in system.

Yet you know that you can only win the battle against centrifugal force with perfect technique and by applying your strength correctly. 

You get the Raceboard or the Freecarve board with plate bindings and hard boots.
