Welcome to “Thank U Snowboarding,” the podcast that dives deep into the rich history and vibrant culture of UK snowboarding. From the early pioneers handcrafting boards in the Scottish Highlands to today’s Olympic medalists and world champions, we’re uncovering the incredible stories behind an island nation that, despite its lack of towering peaks, has made a monumental impact on the snowboarding world.
Join us as we chat with the trailblazers, innovators, and everyday riders who have shaped this unique scene, exploring what makes snowboarding not just a sport, but a way of life. Whether you’re a seasoned shredder or new to the slopes, our mission is to celebrate the passion that fuels our community and inspire the next generation to hit the mountains. So strap in, and let’s carve our way through the history and culture of UK snowboarding together!
