SYLEN boards and beyond
Join the community →SYLEN boards and beyond is an Italian amateur sports association (ASD) made up of riders. In their own words:
We are an ASD of riders who want to ride snowboards, teach snowboarding and pass on the passion that drives us to look for snow at every time of year.
What they do
- Snowboard camps
- Summer training
- Introductory courses
What makes that combination interesting is the continuity: the introductory courses are for people starting from scratch or close to it, the camps are the time on snow, and the summer training covers the months when a board normally sits in the cellar. It is the approach of people who treat snowboarding as a sport to train for year-round, rather than as one week’s holiday.
What kind of outfit it is
Small: a few hundred followers, a long way from the numbers of the generalist groups. In exchange it posts regularly even out of season, consistent with the summer training, and much of the content is made together with other riders — the impression is of a tight, well-connected group rather than a channel talking to itself.

The Instagram profile is public and readable without an account. To find out which camps and courses are open it is still worth messaging them directly, since the schedule is not published anywhere else.
