International Snowboard Judge Instructor (CAN) Marcello Centurione

Been in the game a long time and I love sharing my years of experience with other judges at all levels. What motivates me is to keep finding ways to improve and raise the bar of judging, finding ways to improve the tools and techniques we currently use and educate broadly to raise knowledge and awareness. Always keeping an open mind towards the sport, how we judge, and the perspectives of others involved in our amazing sport.
