"Richie was an awesome snowboarding instructor for our two teenage boys and we hope to catch up with him on the snow again one day. He even took me out for a lesson and the first thing he suggested to me made a huge difference."
I will be working for Hokkaido Vibe this coming winter season.

"You gave
us good foundations and confidence and we had heaps of fun, during the
lessons and then when we were off enjoying the slopes. We survived five
days of snowboarding and are already talking about coming back. We'll
definitely seek you out for more lessons next time."

"Having trained to be a snowboard instructor I was really wanting to take my riding to the next level. I found the perfect instructor in Richie who really focused in on me, and developing my own 'voice' as a rider, bringing different aspects of the sport from freeride and freestyle, incorporating technique from varied and different schools and trainings. I felt he could see everything in my riding and how to improve it, tweak it, and introduce new elements that were challenging and took me out of my comfort zone. As Richie might say, I was able to locate my 'happy place' riding around Saas-Fee."

"I had a lesson with Richie learning how to turn goofy foot which was what I really needed, after this lesson the next few last days I felt so much more confident on the mountain and going down red cat tracks. Turning and going down the mountain then became so much more enjoyable and felt amazing. So just wanted to say thank you to Richie, I really did notice the difference after that last lesson, and he was a really nice instructor.
Also good one helping us with the food line on our first day and recommending the chicken nanban which we had every day after!"
