About

I'm Javi. Just me and a board.

By day I write software. The rest of the time I'm on the mountain — because snowboarding is the thing that pulls the best out of me, and out of everyone I get to ride with.

Who you're riding with

I'm a certified coach from Spain with several years teaching both adults and kids — from first turns to carving and freestyle.

Kids get an experience built on how much I love riding with them. And an engineer's head means that when an adult wants to understand why a turn actually works, I can explain it.

What a lesson with me is actually about

It's built on confidence. The part I love most is watching someone face down a fear they walked in with — so we build that trust a step at a time, keeping every session safe and genuinely fun.

Why Flumserberg

It's the first mountain I worked on as an instructor in Switzerland, and it's easy to reach from Zürich and St. Gallen. Best of all, the beginner area is free and open to everyone — no excuse not to start. The drop itself is the half-second before you commit to a line or a feature that scares you — the breath where you let everything else fall away and it's just you and the board. That moment is the whole point.
