What’s new for 2014?

This year, the WSD creative team is busy working on a Punk Rock theme. Powdy, their rowdy mascot, will be planted in a “Freak Show” décor, giving WSD's promotional tools a punchy, off-beat feel. Also, the World Snowboard Day website is already online and organizers can already start planning their event. You can also check where the events are going to take place all round the world there.

This year once again, a new pro-rider will take over the reins from the charismatic Xavier de Le Rue. This eternally audacious person significantly contributed to snowboarding’s growth in terms of both participation and expansion. For more than 30 years, Regis Rolland has seen the sport evolve, and through his expertise he has greatly contributed to its development. Today, Regis continues to snowboard as much as he can and to be involved in every aspect of the sport. It is with great pleasure that he agreed to be the ambassador for World Snowboard Day’s 9th edition.

Stay tuned for more!
