Freestyle isn’t about tricks. It’s about freedom.

In Episode 3 of Where to Next?, host Neil Patil sits down with Ivan Capaul, snowboard teacher and the heartbeat behind Freestyle Academy Laax, voted the best freestyle resort on the planet 10 times.

Their conversation travels from Polynesian waves to 60s skate culture to modern snowboarding, showing how every freestyle sport speaks the same language: sideways stance, smooth transitions, and pure joy.

Ivan breaks it down simply:
 • Adults can start at any age
 • Five days of lessons can change everything
 • Fear shrinks when you choose the right slope
 • Trampolines, airbags & skate parks make learning fun, not scary

Laax lives by three pillars- Freestyle, Lifestyle & Greenstyle, where pros train beside beginners, and families feel at home.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I too old to try snowboarding?”

Ivan and Neil have the same answer:
You’re exactly on time.
