Thanks guys!!! I will definitely try a smaller size boot on my next lesson as I totally felt the effect of inappropriate size this morning… My lower leg is sore when I woke this morning especially the left one as it was the one attached to the board. I remember my foot sliding off the boot while doing the uphill hike…. that was really nasty… painful and I can totally feel the weight of the boot and the board pulling… I'll try going down a size for the board too and see what difference it'll make… i used the board calculator and i got the range of 132-133-134. the only available in the rental was the 134 amongst the three, hopefully next time 132 or 133 would be available. And also, i will surely try rolling on my stomach to get up.. to be honest i don't mind falling while learning as it is part of it, but it just that getting bac

And also, i will surely try rolling on my stomach to get up.. to be honest i don't mind falling while learning as it is part of it, but it just that getting back on the board was really hard for me.. Anyways, no pain no glory. I will keep in my all your advises when i go to my next falling lesson…'er snowboarding lesson, and keep you posted on any developements… Thanks again!!!
