It's Official: My Board is 10-Year Old Cool
I took my board and new bindings out yesterday, and made an impression.
It's interesting to see what kinds of reactions the kids have to an old guy on a board. A 15-year old was a good encouragement on a day during my first season, giving me some useful advice. But usually, the kids stick with themselves.
Today I was out on my new board. As I rode away from the chairlift, a 10-year old (I'm guessing the age) boy said "How's the snowboarding today, sir?"
I've long ago adjusted to being called "sir." In fact, when it comes from a kid, I'm actually glad to hear it. A few manners, you understand.
The two of us got to talking about snowboarding, how long we had been riding, and so forth. Then he said "That's a cool board you have there."
So there you have it. Cool, as certified by a ten-year old.
