How is a sandboard diferrent froma snowboard?

Curling is a winter sport, originally devised in Scotland and played regulary from the late 1500's (I'm Canadian and have to concede we didn't invent it as others may think). Think of it as shuffleboard on ice, but played as a team. Each team has a skip (team captain) and sweeps ( ice sweepers). The rock ( granite stone with a handle) is sent down the ice to the house (target area).The throw can include a spin ( to make the rock curl or go around a rock in it's way (guards), like a curve ball in baseball) The sweeps slide down the ice,sweeping the ice in front of the rock to make the ice slicker, keeping up the rocks speed or cease sweeping to slow it down also affecting any curve imparted on the rock.. The rocks sent out of the house by being struck or those that go through the house without stopping, don't count. Rocks that are closest to the button ( centre spot of the target) are what matter.
It's one of those sports that may be a little boring to watch, but actually is exciting to play, as it depends heavily on skill, teamwork and strategy.

How should I set up my first snowboard?

Curling is a precision team sport similar to bowls or bocce, played on a rectangular sheet of prepared ice by two teams of four players each, using heavy polished granite stones which they slide down the ice towards a target area called the house. Points are scored for the number of stones that a team has closer to the center of the target than the closest of the other team's stones. The level of precision and complex nature of the strategic thinking required to win has led curling to be referred to as "chess on ice."

Curling is also a verb, "to curl"; which means to induce coils or ringlets in hair.
