How to become a snowboarding pro?

I am going to windells next summer..?

• I am a snowboarding instructor and I want to become a pro snowboarder. Next summer I am going to be going to windells and I am super excited! Is windells mainly park or is it downhill too? I am already great at downhill and I wanna become better at park. I can kinda do boxes and small jumps (mainly because I havent tried anything else). Before I go to windells next summer should I practice at the park more or will I just become really good from being at windells for a week. My questions: 1.) Is windells mainly park or is it downhill too? 2.) Before I go to windells next summer should I practice at the park more or will I just become really good from being at windells for a week? 3.) Im 13 (gonna be 14 when I go) and a girl so is there gonna be a lot of other girls there or no? 4.) Any specific or awesome things you wanna tell me about windells? 5.) do we have our own coaches? 6.) Do they video tape us when we ride? thankss!

  Hi. I'm also a snowboard instructor who went to a snowboarding summer camp! 1. Windells focuses mostly on park. 2. Don't worry. You will learn a lot during your week at camp. 3. You will find plenty of girls your age at camp. 4. Learn to skate while you're off snow! Windells has amazing skate parks and coaches to teach you. Get involved in activities after snowboarding. It makes camp so much better. 5. You will most likely be split into small groups with other girls around your age and skill level. Mine usually had five or six girls. 6. Often coaches will film you guys so you can watch yourself ride later. Sometimes they let you keep the video analysis--for example, I have videos of myself learning to backflip!
