    It's taken me a little while, but snowboarding has really turned into a serious hobby of mine. It's the first thing I've really felt passionate about in a long time. It's something I really do want to grow and develop in and really get the full experience, but even the process of learning and falling and just absolutely eating snow while trying to get a new trick or perfect a technique has been so much more fun than I could've ever imagined.
    I wouldn't have found happiness like this or come to love this sport like I do if not for Jake Burton Carpenter. Wherever you are, I hope the snow is fresh and the slopes never end. Ride forever. Thank you sir.

    I was Riding Snurfers in '75, and by '78, had already Owned a Flite, but also taken a Snurfer, and gave it a Glass-bottom, full angle-edge 'snow Edges, and a 3-Skeg Fin configuration, plus Bike Inner-tube over-the-toe Elastitics. I gave That Board to My Coach, Paul Graves, as a 'thank-you; back in ''94. Paul got me on the "TEAM EAST" crew that Raced at S-6 in Feb. of '82. That was the First East-Vs- West Comp in Snowboarding! Teams like Winterstick, or A-Team, were NOT aware of the Harshness on Manmade & Groomed Snowpack, and they, and Sims (Tom, even!) had 'issues' with Control down that Slope. They were Not Alone. I Ended up alongside a Pontiac Staionwagon by cruising right on Past the End of the Slope, crossing the Bridge, and Stopping in the Parking Lot, next to that Pontiac.. Embarrassing, but safe. I'm not sure, that I'm grateful my Dad didn't snip-off a Picture of that!?

    Back in the 1970's in CT we SNURFED before there were snowboards. Jake was a little older than me but I'm sure we had the same crazy fun skateboarding and toaking and carving it up through apple orchards and golf courses before he got the idea to mount bindings on a board. RIP BROTHER! (BTW Snurfing is still tremendous fun if you don't feel the need for much control.) As a skier I do have to confess my hostilities expressed toward boarders in the early days - mainly because they would track up the powder in the trees that i wanted. lol Now I support anyone having any fun on the mountain.
