as the title says is there much of a difference in learning to board, i wouldn't mind having a go but wondered how much of a difference there is to ski-ing

I would stick a tenner on the fact you are at more risk of sustaining a knee injury through skiing than snowboarding.
Have a go, take a lesson.

I don't think it is any trouble for your knees unless you fall on them a lot. If you give it a try don't be expecting an easy time of it. The one thing in common with skiing is: put it on edge, and it will turn. Theoretically, anyway. :) I think it is pretty much universal that everyone will crash and burn the first few times they do it. If you don't understand the basic principles - a lesson is probably a good idea. Oh, and get some wrist braces! Something like 95% of all snowboard injuries are related to the wrists.

I bet you 95% of ski injuries are knee related too, I am not going to buy knee braces :wink:
I would not want the rigidity of braces in my wrists and they can actually do some damage depending on how you fall.
I learned to snowboard, just turned up in all my skiing gear and went for it. Good fun!
