Great memories of John growing up. My father ran the Lawrence Beach Club in Atlantic Beach NY and John and his family were members. We lived on the property year-round and John knew where the window to my bedroom was. I can remember him climbing in that window before dawn ( and scaring the ... out of me) to drag me out surfing. He loved knee boarding and made several great designs. I can remember one particular session we caught a hurricane swell and shared a wave, I was doing a top turn while he was on the bottom, turning and just looked at each other with the biggest grins. He came to visit me in Oneonta NY one winter and I go to ride the prototype of the BB1 on Hartwick mountain and give some input. Great memories!!!
I remember at least 12 years ago reading an article about successful CEO's and his was included. He stated that he would go to convention after convention trying to sell his products and the only question people would ask is "where is the bathroom?" But he said, "I believed in my product and it slowly grew bigger".
Good to see you uploading videos again! Must be that time of the year I've been waiting on for so many hot, humid months. I generally don't like to put any stickers on my board but I may make an exception for a very large "Ride On Jake" sticker as he played a huge part in growing the sport. Wishing you a great 22/23 season, my friend.
Nice to see new videos man. Would you be able to do a comparison of K2 Clickers to the Burton Step On? Would love to hear your take if you could make is possible.

Thanks Brent 🤙🏽 If I can find a set of boots and bindings for a good deal, I may be able to do that.
Love to see it
