instruction: How can I learn to snowboad?
output: While there are many different ways to learn how to snowboard, here are some of the more common ones:
  
  1. Take a professional lesson. These are typically offered as half-day or full-day, and either as a private lesson or in a group of typically up to eight people.
  
  2. Have a friend teach you. This is a more cost-conscious way, however, ensure that your friend knows how to properly teach.
  
  3. Teach yourself. Utilize video tutorials found on various sites and get out there and try it.
  
  Remember that snowboarding, while fun, is still an activity that could cause harm, so be sure to always wear a properly fitting helmet.
