I have a firned that's about 6'5'' and he's convinced he'll die on the slopes because of his high center of gravity. Anyone here wanna recount their first time going snowboarding?

6'3 here and can still rip. i've been boartding for years though :grin;
Oh and wtf would he think he dies from a high center of gravity? Its not going to really make a difference unless hald his body weight is his head or if he stand up straight. When your riding you naturally lower your center of gravity ;)
