WSF Announces 2017/18 Membership Program And Services

With the merger between World Snowboard Federation (WSF) and TTR Pro Snowboarding complete, the new WSF membership system is now ready to be launched.  After the merger with TTR, the new WSF will represent all three major stakeholder groups in snowboarding: national governing bodies, event organisers and riders. Due to the additional member categories as well as assets from the merger, the membership structure had to be overhauled.

The WSF will have the following direct membership types available:

  1. Nation Membership – National Snowboarding Organisations (NSOs)
  2. Event Membership – for events that are not affiliated with an NSO
  3. Rider Membership – for all riders listed on the WSPL

Below are the details of the WSF membership types
