Testimonial
"I started the weekend snowboard instructor training course with very limited ability and confidence on the snow.With the professional, challenging and highly enjoyable instruction from Keith Stubbs, I was able to improve my riding technique and teaching practice so that I could achieve both the CSI and Stage One qualifications. I found the course to be motivational and extremely rewarding and would recomend it to anyone with an interest in snowboard instruction. I am looking forward to working as a snowboard instructor both in NZ and overseas. Thanks Keith and Aron for making this possible".
