Sports & Recreation
Skiing, swimming, surfing, and getting outside without getting hurt. Beginner-friendly, always.
How to Skateboard
Skateboard as a complete beginner. Find your stance, push and ride in a straight line, turn, stop with a foot brake, and build board control with kick turns and tic-tacs.
How to Ice Skate
Ice skate for the first time. Fit and lace rental skates, practice a safe fall off the ice, find your balance at the boards, march, glide, stop with a snowplow, stride, and turn.
How to Use a Compass
Find north, take and follow a bearing, take a bearing from a map, correct it for magnetic declination, and detour around an obstacle with a baseplate compass.
How to Roller Skate
Roller skate on quad skates for the first time. Put on your pads and helmet, practice a safe fall, push off with a duck walk, stop with the toe stop or a T-stop, and turn.
How to Surf
Surf your first day as a complete beginner. Practice the pop-up on the sand, read where waves break, paddle out, and ride whitewash to shore on a soft-top board.
How to Snowboard
Snowboard your first day as a complete beginner. Pick your stance, stop on your heel and toe edges, link your first turns, ride the chairlift, and fall in a way that protects your wrists.
How to Ski
Ski your first day as a complete beginner. Put your boots on right, stop and steer with the pizza wedge, link turns down a green run, and ride the chairlift.
