Kevin Royes is the inventor behind Bakoda accessories. In the 90's Kevin innovated leashes, stomp pads, locks, waxing and binding tools. He took accessories to another level by signing Devun Walsh and half the Forum 8 to the Bakoda team. Then he sold Bakoda to Northwave and Drake in 1998. 20 years later when I tried to track him down Kevin was no where to be found. So when I got a phone call from him this summer I was stoked. This lead to a meeting up for this interview which took place in his RV while it poured rain outside... enjoy!! It was worth the wait!

Arthur Longo is a professional snowboarder from France known for his seemingly magical ability to turn in-bounds features into pure gold. His quiet, smiling demeanour is so disarming it’s easy to forget you’re in the presence of one of the great forces in pro snowboarding. Arthur’s career has seen X-Games and Olympics but his creation: Side Hits Euphoria is some next level content that I love watching over and over to bring some of that inspiring creativity into my local resorts.

Jeff Pensiero worked for Glissade snowboards and spent the early nineties shredding in Tahoe before migrating to BC Canada to follow his heart and his passion for back country snowboarding. In 2002 Jeff opened Baldface with a group of investors that included Craig Kelly and John Buffery as well as a handful of others, some you’ve heard of, like Dave Grohl and some you haven’t. 20 years later Baldface employs somewhere around 100 people and some weeks of cat boarding at the lodge are sold out years in advance. Baldface represents the best snowboarding on the planet and is on pretty much every true snowboarder’s bucket list. This is an interview with Jeff in his office in Nelson recorded in late November 2023.

Fabien Rohrer is one of the longest running pro snowboarders on the Nitro team. He won The Innsbruck Air And Style competing against the best snowboarders in the world at the time. He went to the olympics and then boycotted them... I was overjoyed to get an invite to Greenwater (Mike Michalchuk's AirBNB getaway up in Pemberton) to interview Fabien. He and his son Jeremy are crushing it on Instagram and TikTok with videos of the Father Son duo battling it out with the occasional super pro thrown in for good measure. Enjoy this passionate Swiss snowboarder talking about his life in snowboarding.
