I knew Phil was already on the scene when I first picked up Snowboard UK, but I didn't know he was around from the very, very early days, indeed his youthful good looks and approach to life don't indicate that he could have been around for that long, but Phil is a lifer, through and through and he uses his experiences in snowboarding to be a kind of 'go between' for brands that want some action sports cool, and the worlds we live and hold dear.

His journey has taken him from hand building his first board, to hosting what was, at the time, Channel 4's most watched program 'Board Stupid' a kind of lucky break, but instead of treating it like that, he made sure snowboarding and its culture was presented in the right way, which I think has some part to play in snowboardings popularity in the UK.

There are a few episodes up on Youtube, so I've added them to our channel you can get to here: https://www.youtube.com/@ThankUSnowboarding

Phil continues to ride, take photos, champion diversity in action sports and is an all round ambassador for the sports we love. He helps brands and most importantly, he is a great person to hang out with, and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did making it...
