International Snowboard Federation (ISF)

The International Snowboard Federation (ISF) is a governing body established to oversee and promote the sport of snowboarding globally. Founded in 1994, it organizes competitions, sets rules, and works to develop the sport at various levels, from amateur to professional. The ISF plays a role in ensuring fair play and safety for athletes while also helping to standardize competitions. Although it faced competition from other organizations, such as the International Ski Federation (FIS), the ISF has been instrumental in the growth and popularity of snowboarding, particularly in events like the Olympics and World Championships.
