This year for Craig's birthday I give you the gift of Going Off! A history of snowboarding podcast from best friends Tricia Byrnes and Jen Sherowski. Going Off dives deep into the history of snowboarding and has some pretty epic episodes under their belts. Be sure to check them out. In this mini episode I talk expertly about Jake, Tom, and Craig... mostly drawing from what I've heard over the years from guests of FNRad. There's a full Craig episode of Going Off on the horizon and I need thank Jen and Tricia for producing this year's FNRad Craig Elmer Kelly episode

Paul Fidrych was the director of hardgoods product management for Burton during snowboarding’s golden era. Paul oversaw production of the Brushie trouts, Terje swords, and was a key player in the development of the Burton custom. And this year the Burton Custom turned 30 and the story behind its development highlights a commitment to progression, of materials, building techniques, art, and the culture of snowboarding. The custom was a catalyst for change and in no small way that change was driven by Paul’s engineering sensibility and his direct communication with some of the best snowboarders in the world at the time including people like Craig Kelly, Bryan Iguchi, Victoria Jealous, and Jason Brown. Paul was also a facilitator at Windell’s summer camp on Mount hood the year I went there 1991. Paul’s life in snowboarding has benefited us all and I’m excited to bring you this interview from his chalet in whistler.

Paul Culling was a pro snowboarder in the late 80's and early 90's scoring sponsorship contracts with Gnu, Nitro, and K2 before starting his own snowboard brand, Luxury Snowboards. He was also the first pro on Westbeach outerwear. Paul's entrepreneurial spirit found an outlet in snowboarding first through an innovation for boots, eventually in running the world's first adult snowboard camps on Mt. Seymour, and ultimately through flying around the world with a team of Luxury pros that included Mike Estes and Shin Campos. Eventually Paul joined the "internet" sector of the money market and innovated there. I met him in the early 2000's when he integrating commerce into the Boardroom's website. He's a great part of the history of snowboarding and I'm proud to bring you this interview with Paul Culling

Shane McKinney created Invasion snowboards in the early 90's and kept the ship sailing for over ten years. During the course of Invasion Shane went from being a snowboarder with sponsors to a brand owner sponsoring some of the best north shore rippers around. Invasion was the first brand to gain a big community acceptance at Seymour, paving the way for Dinosaurs Will Die and other local brands to build a great following there. We recorded this episode at Shane's house in North Vancouver.
