Crystal Gonzales
WRA Owner, President, Team Manager and Coach
Westside Riders Association (WRA) was born from a personal passion for
snowboarding and a commitment to building a stronger community. The founder,
inspired by a late-in-life love for the sport and her daughter's competitive journey, saw
an opportunity to create a unified support system. In 2018, this vision became a reality
with the establishment of WRA as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. What started as a small project
has since become a powerful force, empowering youth in the Beaverton School District
to train and compete in the sport of snowboarding.

Grace
Coach
My name is Grace Howell, I am a returning coach from last year, excited to be back for another fun year!
A little bit about me, I am a born and raised Oregonian. I started snowboarding when I was 20 years old which got me to love the outdoors. If I'm not on the snow, you can find me mountain biking, on the water surfing or home with my cat.
Max Murphy
Coach
I'm a video games executive and a lifelong board sport enthusiast. Rolling sideways on
concrete since age six and snow since fourteen, I'm stoked to coach as a volunteer
every season. I love riding with the crew, dialing in tricks, and helping riders level up
their stoke and skills while keeping the vibes high and supportive on every run.
