How to Get Sponsored by PacSun

Decide what sport you are aspiring to compete in. Practice every moment you are able to. If you want to compete internationally, you will have to be the best at what you do. Learn all of the standard tricks of your sport, as well as several extremely difficult moves, to impress coaches. Develop your own tricks to make your style stand out from other athletes. Practice at as many locations as possible. For example, if you are a snowboarder, train on as many mountains as possible as opposed to always practicing on the same one.

Enter yourself in as many competitions as possible. Participate in every single competition that you can get to, even if they seem insignificant. Small competitions help you gain experience and practice for larger, more important events. Enter all of the big competitions you can get to so that you are able to gain a rank in your sport and gain the attention of potential sponsors. Try to place at every competition you attend. With enough results, you should start to attract the interest of smaller, local sponsors.

Create a blog in which you document yourself and your community participating in your sport. Your blog should have plenty of photographs of you and your friends, and in these photographs be wearing PacSun merchandise. Gain a large following for your blog. PacSun teams are not only looking for athletes, but also members who have star quality and attract attention.

Participate in the PacSun website's community. Add content to forums, make friends with other aspiring athletes and comment on videos. Get your name out there and meet as many people as possible. Make sure to always keep your comments friendly and positive.

Make friends with as many people in your sport as possible. If you can, make friends with people who are employed by PacSun. Attend industry parties if you are old enough, and make your face recognizable to as many people as possible. You never know who may have a connection that could help you to get on the team you want to join.

Study the PacSun team you want to join. Learn if the coach and all the other members are known for a particular style. Cultivate this style in your own surfing, skateboarding or snowboarding. Also take note if all the team members look similar. You need to fit in with the team, so if they all dress alike, you may want to consider adopting their look.

Have a friend help to make videos of you doing your sport. Make sure that the videos represent you performing to the best of your ability, and that you are wearing PacSun merchandise in the videos. Include a segment in which you or you and your friends are talking about your sport and why you want to ride for PacSun.

Put together a resume detailing your experience and accomplishments. Describe your abilities as well as any contributions you have made to your sport's community, including your blog. Write a separate cover letter describing your goals and the reasons that you want to join PacSun's team.

Keep your eye on Hook It's website. PacSun posts calls for applications on this site whenever the company is accepting new members to any of its teams. As soon as PacSun posts a call for applications, follow the instructions and send in your resume, cover letter, videos and photographs of you and your friends wearing PacSun merchandise and participating in your sport. Make sure to follow up with an e-mail once you send your application in.

Do not give up if you do not get picked up by PacSun the first time you apply. Keep developing your skills and apply again the next time they are looking for new members.
