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.
