Dave Sypniewski is one of those passionate individuals who has dedicated much of their life to making sure money flows in and out of snowboarding to help power fun community driven events and keeping pros paid well. He’s worked behind the scenes at places like Thrasher, Burton, and Boost Mobile and understands the where snowboarding meets marketing like no other. Learn the ins and outs of the business side of the snowboard world we all know and love on this week’s episode of The Bomb Hole!
