Association info: World Snowboard Federation is the only international non profit organisation exclusively working to develop and taking care for the sport of snowboard at all levels including, competitions and education, disable and adaptive snowboarding, snowboard activities for riders of any age. WSF was formed on August 10th 2002 in Munich, by delegates from 14 nations – in order to fill the void after the collapse of ISF. The initiative was taken by Japan and Norway – with support from most of the nations worldwide. The Federation became operational late November 2002. WSF represents a network of national snowboard associations which cooperate world wide for the sport development. Members find in WSF a source of inspiration and support at their activities. WSF creates added value for everybody involved in snowboard on national level and can offer ideas, manuals and initiatives as a result of being together in one organization with the same goal: Progression of Snowboarding at All Levels. WSF projects includes: World Rookie Tour, World Snowboard Day with EuroSIMA, General Assemblies, Educational programmes and workshops for Instructors, Shapers, Judges, Technical Delegates club managers, cooperation with World Snowboard Tour for the regional and national level events. Goal We are aiming at organising stimulating and fun activities that can make the snowboarding grow and develop in the spirit of the original, genuine culture that has been created by the pioneers of snowboarding and the pro-riders – the heroes of the kids.
