You will be asked to purchase a WSF rider membership and you have to complete your personal details, enter your sponsors, an emergency contact and indicate your stance (Goofy, Regular) on your personal bio. Please make sure all your contact information is correct as this will be used incase of emergencies and important announcements.

HOW DO I MANAGE MY RIDER INFORMATION?

To manage the rider information displayed on your World Snowboarding Profile you have to login and go to My Profile/Bio. Complete all the fields and tick the „Check to display on the web“ field at the top of the page. We recommend you to update your rider information at the beginning of the season or whenever changes occur.

To add or update your sponsors, you have to login and go to My Profile/Sponsor. To add a sponsor, click “New Sponsor”, select a sponsor from the list and assign a priority. Priority 1 is the highest and should be your main sponsor. To navigate to a sponsor entry click on the numbers in the top right corner “Click to View”. To update or delete a sponsor, navigate to the sponsor entry you would like to change and either change the priority or click “Delete”. If your sponsor does not appear in the list and you want it to be added, please send an email with the sponsor information to riders(at)worldsnowboarding.org
