We Celebrate My Nephew’s 18th by Introducing Him to Snowboarding
So how do you make a new sport you already love better? Simple: introduce someone new to the sport. That was the idea behind our birthday gift to my nephew Sebastian. Because he had skateboarded a lot in his pre and early teens, I figured he would have a much easier time learning to snowboard than I did. My hunch turned out to be pretty accurate.
