The Duret pintails are very easy for children to learn on and excellent powder boards too.
Many of the younger kids that we instruct seem to have a much easier time on this shape than models with alot of sidecut.

When teaching the wee ones, give them the chance to go with the flow, the main issue for the
kids will be to keep the knees together. One of the issues with instructing kids is to not be
too cerebral and technical with them. Have fun with the little ones, if you can accomplish that
they will learn faster and be rippin' in no time! If they keep on catching their edge, detune the tip
way down to the toe binding, they are probably rolling their ankles into the turn. Have them jump from
turn to turn until they understand how to break the edge loose from a carve.
