Powsurfing: The De-Evolution of Snowboarding/ Travis Yamada & Ian Barker-Cortrecht
Manage episode 381168608 series 2948998
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to connect with the mountain without bindings on your snowboard? Join us on an intriguing journey, as we sit down with local board shapers Travis Yamada and Ian Barker-Cortrecht to discuss the de-evolution back to powsurfing. This episode is sure to captivate you with rich tales of passion, innovation and the pioneering spirit that has driven the rise of a sport that returns snowboarding to its purest form.
We go back in time to the early days of snowboarding, But it's not all about the past, we also look at the present and future, exploring Jeremy Jensen's revolutionary binding design that is changing the way we approach this sport. Erik Traulsen, host of the FN Rad Snowboard Podcast participates in the conversation as much of the progression of riding boards without bindings has its roots in Canada. You don't want to miss out on this remarkable journey into the heart of powsurfing and the adventurous souls who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
In this lively conversation, we delve into the personal journeys of our guests and their plans to start producing powsurfers through The Cubicle Surf Shop, a local ocean and freshwater surfboard brand, owned and operated by Travis Yamada. So, strap in (or should we say strap off?) as we ride the waves of this fascinating discussion about powsurfing and the camaraderie we find in the mountains.
