Camp Director on the cover. In a history of snowboarding story in the Santa Barbara Independent, Ken Achenbach is on the cover jumping a cliff in Chute 22 in Lake Tahoe back in the 84/85. the story on Santa Barbara legend Chuck Barfoot is a good one. Chuck was Ken's first sponsor and is still one of his best friends on earth. And yes Chuck is as funny as the story makes him out to be. The photo is one of my favorites. Nothing like going big before metal edges and highbacks.
Scotty Starr shot the photo. Scotty was the photo editor at Thrasher for years and one of the original snowboard photograpers. Now he is writing a book on the history of snowboarding.
