Snowboard Club UK FAQs (frequently-asked questions)

Snowboard Club UK is a new initiative between Duncan Worrell of TheBoarder.co.uk and partners Stuart Brass and Spencer Claridge of Soul Sports. Dunx, Stu and Spence to our friends.

We like to call Snowboard Club UK "SCUK" and our mission is to bring together all that the scene and industry have to offer and create a one stop shop for all snowboard enthusiasts who share a passion for snowboarding, whether they are amateurs, professionals, families, oldies or youngsters.

Duncan Worrell, editor of TheBoarder says of the new Snowboard Club

"TheBoarder website was launched in 1997 and has grown to become Europe's favourite snowboard website. It has always had one clear goal - to serve the interests of UK snowboarders. Teaming up with Stuart Brass and Spencer Claridge, creates a great team. SCUK will combine their knowledge of the UK snowsports industry with TheBoarder's fantastic customer base, allowing us to more actively and effectively serve the interests of UK snowboarders and provide benefits that TheBoarder could not have hoped to provide alone. In becoming SCUK, the evolution of TheBoarder continues."

The simple answer is to save you money. The joining pack alone is worth around £100. We also have a heap of discounts available, plus our own kick ass insurance scheme to keep you covered on the slopes.

But SCUK hopes to be more than just a discount scheme and the hope is that the website will continue to develop the community that TheBoarder started.

When you join you get a membership pack that contains your membership cards and the gifts and items you selected when you made you application. We may also throw in a few more bits and bobs like stickers if we like the cut of your jib.

The definitive description of the membership pack can be found here.

You can click here to become a member of Snowboard Club. The online application is the only way to join SCUK at the present time. We hope the pages presented are fairly self-explanatory, but if you have any difficulties they just get in touch and we'll help you out.

No, you can also send us a cheque. Just click on the "Pay by Cheque" button when you see it on the Confirm Membership Application screen.

That's a difficult question to answer.

We use the services of WorldPay to process our credit / debit card payments. That's about as secure as you can get online.

We believe entering your credit / debit card details through WorldPay is considerably more secure that leaving your card behind the bar at your local, giving it over the phone or even handing it over to be swiped in a petrol station.

If you are concerned, you can always send us a cheque instead. Just click on the "Pay by Cheque" button when you see it on the Confirm Membership Application screen.

When the Shop launches next year, you'll be able to order through that. In the meantime you can order a voucher by post.

Recipients simply log on, enter the code on the voucher and select their own personal membership gifts. It takes the hassle out of worrying whether:

a) The colour of garment matches their eyes
b) The DVD’s their preferred choice
c) Their bum looks big in this

Costs are as usual: £25 Junior, £30 Adult, £70 Family

Just send your address, plus a cheque payable to Snowboard Club Ltd, B5, Enterprise Point, Melbourne St, Brighton, BN2 3LH.

You can update your postal addresses and telephone numbers (but not mobile) from the "Your membership" link at the top of every page once you're logged in. Alternatively, click here to go directly to the address update page.


If you need to update your mobile number then contact SCUK on info@snowboardclub.co.uk and we'll sort it our for you.
