I remember my first experience on a snowboard very clearly … it was a beautiful winter day, I was skiing on the highest mountain in Estonia (barely 318m. above sea level).

At one time, one young boy came to me and asked if I would like to try snowboarding. He could only offer me boots in size 42 and a board two times bigger as myself, however, I agreed !

That became the turning point of my life. I could not stop thinking about snowboarding … my favourite discipline became Snowboard-cross, I made it to the World Cup, World Championships and the X-Games.

Whatever you do, don’t forget to have fun along the way !
