Since the age of 11, Kendra has always found her happy place was riding down a snow-capped mountain on a snowboard. She would often escape the city and head to the mountains to ride the slopes all day on the weekends. The first brand that Kendra felt connected to was Burton. Kendra always admired the colorful designs, attention to detail, and quality of their snowboards.
