Pro Files featuring Ken Achenbach • First in Canada, First in the World

Ken may be Canada’s first snowboarder – if you don’t believe me   find someone who went riding before him.

While that may be in dispute, The Snowboard Shop is not – it was the world’s first snowboard specific retailer – inspiring a generation of Canadian riders.

He also built the world’s first twin tip snowboard – the Barfoot Twin Tip, created an early snowboard specific clothing line and started The Camp of Campions – a snowboard camp that trained aspiring riders for 25 years. 

To say Ken is a legend is an understatement – to say that he is still, 40 plus years on, a dedicated snowboarder, is simply a statement of fact.
