Dream Job: Snowboard History Archivist | “Jake’s prototypes are my favourites… “
There are a ton of jobs in the board sports industry that don’t require being a pro rider. Take Todd “TK” Kohlman for instance, who is a Burton Archivist. Basically taking one piece of every Burton product ever made and storing it and giving tours. With a special emphasis on Craig Kelly and Jake Burton. Sounds pretty sweet.
Sample:
With that entire product to choose from, do you have a particular favourite product and if so why?
Jake’s prototypes are my favourites but I like the 1993 Brushie and 1994 Haakon Air a lot too. It’s really cool seeing how much time and effort Jake put into about 100 protos before even settling on one production board.
