When I was 7 years old the Nor Cal Burton Rep saw me riding in Tahoe during a USASA event and gave me a snowboard. After that we kept in touch and he continued to hook me up until I was eventually put on the Burton Backhill kids team!
My advice for groms who are looking to get sponsored is to make a sponsor me video, or contact the companies you are most stoked on with photos and a bio of yourself.
Another way is to start with a local snowboard shop. Shops are a great way to make local friends with other snowboarders, as well as have help getting introduced to reps for any company!
