"Si is brilliant instructor from start to finish. He took the time to listen to me about what I was trying to achieve with my lessons. Si then broke it all down for me in a way which was easy to understand. I started off with the basics and with time, he added more components till it all came together. Si is an excellent communicator. I knew exactly what he was asking from me. He also made the whole experience fun. My only regret is I didn't find him sooner. If you book with Si, you will not be disappointed."

"Si coaches students to a very high level, but quietly, without pressure, helping them to set goals and achieve their potential by steering them rather than forcing them He is especially good with prickly teenagers! He has a wealth of knowledge of SBX and is one of the very few coaches who can teach race technique to international level. We drive 2 to 3 hours each way for sessions with Si, which are always worth it!"

"Brilliant 1:1 session with Simon. Patient, deliberate and effective coaching given from the get go. Took his time to find out my level of riding, asked plenty of questions to understand my own feedback from the board and how I was riding. Then gave clear ques for me to focus on, picking up on my errors when riding. Gave me plenty of things to work on for my next trip. If you are looking to have someone really help you improve feel on the board I would book in with Si. Keep up the good work Si!"

"Si is a fantastic coach that truely understands the sport and his role and how to personalise his coaching to every athlete. If it wasnt for him I would not have reached my goal of competing at the Paralympics. He knows how to give feedback in a constructive way and has no issues changing his explanation if I wasnt understanding what I needed to do which led to the biggest breakthroughs I had in my riding career. Highly recommended for anyone looking to get some coaching and get started in competitive snowboarding."

"Si is professional, friendly and an unbelievably good performance coach. The sort of guy that when he starts talking, everyone else stops and listens. Would recommend to anyone; even people at the highest level have things to gain from Si’s teaching"
