What's your end game?

They say ‘start with the end in mind’. So as you begin your professional snowboarding career its a good time to question what type of instructor you wish to become. Anyone can use the BASI courses as ‘box ticking exercise’ to get qualified, however that won’t get you to the top of your game long term. My teachings are aimed to get you to the top, to become part of the new generation of snowboard instructor; authentic, empowered, ready to support growth with integrity, knowledge and confidence having embodied all the necessary skills to ride everywhere, to teach anything, anywhere in the world, in any conditions, on any terrain. Once at the top, you can achieve a dedicated client base, your own tribe and their family, who will loyally follow you for life and may even pay for your travel. Wow, that’s huge right!

What people say?

Renelle is probably one of the most amazing instructors I have ever met! She is passionate, driven and joyful all in one. She has made me feel confident not only as an adaptive instructor (second discipline) but as a rider overall. The techniques and methods she uses will be stuck in my mind for as long as I teach. She is the main reason why I am switching back over to BASI to be the best Instructor I can be.

Max Alcock

Basi level 3 aspirant

I took a BASI course with Renelle in 2018 and found her teaching style and character to be utterly inspiring. I was was lucky enough to train with her in 2019 for Level 3 prep. Her passion for teaching is so unique and her ability to sense out and refine movements within my snowboarding is incredible. She has a truly special eye for snowboarding and delivers her lesson with constructive feedback, non stop fun and elevated energy.
