Jake Burton Carpenter, 1954 – 2019


I never got to meet Jake but grew up feeling like I knew him.

I’m so thankful for his life and the passion he had to make snowboarding better and more accessible for us all.

Snowboarding has brought myself and many others so much joy, It’s difficult to put to words how thankful I am for the sport he helped start and then spent his life growing it over the years.

Jake, your flexible, steel-edged toy changed the world.
