United States Amateur Snowboarding Association (USASA)
was incorporated in July 1988, by former amateur surf coach Chuck Allen, with
a $500 donation from Transworld Snowboarding Magazine.
It was is the first governing body exclusively for competitive
amateur snowboarding. The premiere national championships were held in 1990
at Snow Valley, California. Since then, each year has seen an increase in the
number of competitors and regions participating within the USASA.
The efforts of the USASA and its regions have enabled men
and women, and boys and girls of all ages to participate in its organized events.
The events are intended to promote the sport of snowboarding, be fun for the
competitors of all abilities, develop athletic skills, and be the qualifiers
for national and international competition.
Top riders from the regions qualify to compete in the annual
national championships. In addition to the halfpipe, slalom, and giant slalom
disciplines, the USASA introduced slopestyle as a sanctioned discipline in the
1993-94 season.
