2015 · Confirmed

The IJSBA's post of 18 October 2015, bylined to its executive director, announces that CarolAnne Giustina had been named the association's new Freestyle Competition Director, a title its headline gives as Freestyle Competition Manager, and co-producer of the Under the Bridge show.

2015 · Confirmed

The same post says the IJSBA held the first Freestyle Committee at the 2015 World Finals, which set the agenda of drafting a new scoring system and competition program for freestyle, and that she would take the role of the committee's Vice Chair, with the executive director as interim chair.

Likely

The post also says she had worked with the IJSBA World Finals since 2005 as Continuity Manager and Event Coordinator. That is the association's statement in 2015; no held document of the years before names her in that role (searched the archive's mirror and research cache for Giustina, 2026-10-09).

2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 · Likely

The IJSBA's rule books of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 list Freeride and US Motosurf (West), On Course Events, among the organisations the association supports to promote events in the United States, with the line Attention CarolAnne Giustina; the 2014 book also lists it under the United States in its directory of affiliates. The books print no post beside her name. The IJSBA's post of 18 October 2015 says she was then the U.S. organizer for the International Freeride Watercraft Association; reading the books' contact as the freestyle director of 2015 rests on the name and that freeride role, which is the archive's inference.

What the archive has not read (2)

• The 2015 post gives an account of her career before the association, including the freeride watercraft events and associations it dates from 1999 and 2005. It reads as her own history relayed by the association and is not used here, beyond the post's statement that she was then the IFWA's U.S. organizer (read 2026-10-09).
• No held document names her in a post after October 2015 (searched the archive's mirror and research cache for Giustina, 2026-10-09). The IJSBA's 2015 draft rule book and its United States promoters page of 2013, the second seen in a copy saved during research, carry the same contact line and are not cited.
