Why Shaun White loves Snowboarding with Nina

When couples like doing the same things, their relationship gets more interesting. Shaun and Nina both love snowboarding. And this sounds like the key reason why they are so compatible with each other.


During an interview with US Weekly, White revealed he loved snowboarding with Nina. He said, “I’m teaching Nina how to surf currently. She’s so talented as a snowboarder, which is great, because I’ve been in past relationships when they couldn’t snowboard and I’m a terrible coach. I’m like, ‘You just do it!’ But now she’s got the surfing bug. She’s excited about it, so now we’re trying to find places we can go surf and vacation and hang… She caught like seven waves in Hawaii and it was like she was feeling it, yeah!”
