I'm new to the blogging world, so, Hello internet people. I am only writing on this blog and such because I am incredibly upset over my lack of shred activity this summer. Not being on a board for a few months has turned me into a crabby and obsessive person, which I do not like. I say obsessive because at least 85% of my time on a computer is spent looking at Snowboard-mag.com, Twsnow.com, themustachio.com and all other sorts of random shred based websites. I just want to stay connected to the scene, even if the relationship is one sided.

Where:
Online – hosted through http://twitter.com/humanitysnow

Why:
To clean out the proverbial closets and to give snowboarders something to do in the summertime.

How:

Last week most of the european snowboarders met in Biarritz for the ”We’ve Got Balls” soccer tournament. We are talking about a football World Cup for Snowboarders. The winners received €1000 to give to a charity of their choice. The concept is really fun, each country builds a team of snowboarders and they all play against each other: Switzerland, France, Spain, England, Austrians and Locals all came to play in the south west of France.

Have you ever been curious about working in the snowboard industry, how to get in or what experience/background you need? The Industry Profile series was born to give you answers to those questions. Every Tuesday and Thursday from June to September you'll find a variety of people in the industry being interviewed for their various roles and experiences on how they got into the industry.

In case you didn't already know, we're kind of a big deal. Mellisa Larsen from Espn.com recently wrote an article about W@C chronicalling the awesomeness that is summer camp! Want to be famous too? Come to camp, there's always a chance you'll get your 15 minutes!
