Welcome to the Snowboard Division
Originally a separate body to that of NZSIA, the initial SBINZ was named New Zealand's Snowboard Instructors Association and was established in 1992. In 1996 the two organisations formed an alliance and the Snowboard Division of NZSIA was born.
Re-branding in 2006 as Snowboard Instruction New Zealand (SBINZ) the Snowboard Division is now a supportive and contributing arm of the NZSIA.
Responsible for certifying all Snowboard Instructors within New Zealand, SBINZ have become a qualifying body that is internationally renowned for producing professional, knowledgeable instructors with capabilities to teach and ride at very high standards.
Through prominent international relationships, SBINZ have established a qualification framework that not only caters to our distinct New Zealand environment, but also prepares our instructors to teach in the many diverse cultures and conditions that we encounter whilst working overseas.
