Vince knows this business inside and out. I bought my first Never Summer snowboard from him when he owned the Board Room back in 2001. He really helped me figure out the right board for me and has been a good friend since. I would give anything to be in his shoes and to work for such an awesome company.
Never Summer Lifer! Thanks to Vince.
Great story Shay! Thanks!

“Online sales is another big challenge. I would like to see manufactures limit or not sell direct at all and retailers to recognize and support the brands who have protected their interests”

Vince! wow, thats a sweet idea!! With the internet, manufacturers can really snake sales from their retailers which can lead to retailers supporting and representing the brands less. More people should check out this shopatron deal of yours, could really benefit the industry as shops and manufacturers start cooperating more on marketing.

I never thought about it that way 🙂

Thanks to all for your kind comments.

Alex, I forgot about the Airwalk One’s! Just the thought of the Golden Skatepark when it first opened brings back a lot of memories. Hope your doing well and it was great working and riding with you during your Salomon days. Be great to ride with you again someday, let’s try to make that happen.

Donna, Thanks for your support and I’m sorry your having problems finding some of our softgoods. We just shipped a brand new CO tee to BC Surf and Sport in Littleton and Park Meadows. It’s our eagle w/ Colorado flag colors on a really nice American Apparel tee. They will also have some of our Eagle Zip hoodies in white/cyan around the middle of September.

I have two Never Summer Boards for snowboarding that I love. I am a 50 yr old woman who switched to snowboarding only 3 years ago after 35 years of skiing. My questions is I have a white with silver eagle Never Summer logo on it and I cannot seem to find many hoodies that fit a rather large busted 42 D woman (probably a XL mans). I live in Littleton Colorado, can you help me? I have beenlooking all over the internet and I know you guys are based in Colorado which is why I wanted or started to buy your products.
Thanks, Donna Nelligan 720-261-8046

Vince is the man. I remember going into his shop as a grom and buying a pair of Airwalk one-ones and taking them straight to ulysses skate park in Golden. I also have fond memories of working with Vince while I was at Salomon. Lot of history with this guy. Never Summer has scored a great find here. Congrats to both.

Vince (aka Vman;)), you’ve got the great stories to be told! All the best for you!

Thanks Shay for the connection you provide between riders and the industry elders. All the history is made by people and there is only way to get deeper view on the thing – to listen for makers.
