My issue with boarding was that I have very good balance, former gymnast, but my edge control was ####. Pitch forward (how I broke my wrist), pitch back. I'm glad if boarding to skiing makes sense, but I can tell you skiing to boarding is not logical at all, at least for me.
I still remember my first snowboarding lesson. We spent most of the class learning how to fall correctly lol
