My girls started skiing at 5 and 6 and then decided after they had completed all ski school levels to go boarding, they would have been 8 and 9. Ski school did not want to take them under 7 - so your son should be fine. They have been to surf school 8 times now and learn something new each time, they wil be going back to surf school next week (even though they have passed the same level 3 times already, it is still worth it IMO). Do get your son some wristguards and kneepads as they fall all the time when learning. I try and get my girls to ski in the morning with us instead of boarding as they do the boarder "sitting down" thing every time they stop!!!
