What is the World FlowBoarding Federation?
The World FlowBoarding Federation (WFF) is an organization with the primary goal to grow the sport of Flowboarding. It will oversee the coordination of international flowboarding competitions both online and offline, working with well-known partners within the industry, to meet these goals. It will have a global representation of rider ambassadors to encourage new rider development and promotion of the World Flowboarding Federation, increasing accessibility of educational resources for emerging athletes.
Initially presented by Winfield Austin at the International FlowBoarding Championships 2025 in Pattaya, Thailand, the federation supports the development of new riders and the advancement of the professional sport of flowboarding. The IFC 2025 marked a significant milestone as it was the first international competition to feature a truly global showing of riders since before the COVID-19 pandemic.
