Abstract
When I was young, boardsports were amusing and a welcome escape from my then family disarray. It started with falling in love with snowboarding, riding fresh powder, having fun and forgetting about my worries at home. As I write this, I have been involved with boardsports for 18 years. The years before my first stay in Kabul, I had organized and taught mountainboard as well as skateboard workshops in England, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. However, my former educational background was in Sustainable Product Design, where most of my projects were tailored for the snowboard, mountainboard and skateboard industry.
