For a guy who has been way too-nice for his own good, we’re happy Chuck Barfoot is celebrating 30 year of Barfoot Snowboards. Ethan Stewart spins up an extremely cools story for the Santa Barbara Independent.
In a turn of synchronicity lost on all but the most well-versed snowboarding historians, this snowy start to 2008 was a downright poetic omen for those who know and love Chuck Barfoot. Often overlooked by the history books, repeatedly finding himself on the wrong end of busted-up business deals, and a lifelong devotee of the ride — be it by land, sea, or snow — this snow-blessed 2008 (a recent excursion found a nearly 10-foot base up Mt. Pinos way) also marks the 30th anniversary for the Santa Barbara-born Barfoot Snowboard Company — the unsung, callused hero of a snow-sliding revolution.
We haven’t forgotten you Chuck, Happy 30th. You know this just means your baby is just moving into her prime. . . right? How about an update of that old Jon Boyer Pro Model?

WOW Chuck, so great seeing you today. You really looked great. This picture is not the Chuck I saw today. Keep up the good work and lets stay in touch.
