  • Alaska boarding history is just the launching point

    Cody originally hooked a lot of the Alaskan community with his attention to the history of skate/snowboarding in alaska. From there he has branched out to let his journalistic wings spread as he spotlights figures integral to the survival of culture and community. He turns over the rock and exposes the unsung foundational heroes building up those around them. Thanks for telling the stories Cody.
