scroll on to pick up some more from Adam Field at Coastal in ol'Surrey, B.C. Canada.
Name of the shop? COASTAL RIDERS
Name of person answering the questions? FIELD
How long has the shop been around for?
GOING ON TEN YEARS. WE DO OUR BEST TO KEEP EVERY CUSTOMER HAPPY AND DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO GIVE BACK TO OUR SKATE AND SNOW COMMUNITY.
What is you’re local mountain? (when does it open usually?)
SEYMOUR AROUND MID DECEMBER BUT WE RIDE BAKER BEFORE SEYMOUR OPENS. OPENING DAY EVERY YEAR!
Do you have any good shoplifter stories?
TOO MANY GOOD ONES.....BILL RODE ON THE BACK OF A CAR, TERMINATOR STYLE, FOR A 1/4 MILE BASHIN UP AND DOWN THE CURB, WHEN A LOCAL SCAB GRAB'N'GOED A SNOWBOARD. BILL FELL OFF AND THEY GOT AWAY. ANOTHER TIME, I CHASED A DUDE ACROSS THE STREET AND HE PULLED OUT A DOWELL WITH RAZOR WIRE TAPED TO THE END OF IT LIKE A WHIP. HE STILL LURKS AROUND. WE CALL HIM INDIANA JONES.
What is the golden age of snowboarding for you? when and why.
MID/LATE 90'S.....IT WAS JUST DIFFERENT. EVERYTHING WAS NEW AND EXCITING. STYLE WAS NOT AN ISSUE AND IT WAS EASIER TO PISS OFF SKIERS.
Hit us with some local knowledge or history.
ONE OF THE SHOP OWNERS BILL MCELHINNEY USED TO WORK FOR REV SNOWBOARDS CUSTOMIZING AND TESTING OUT ALL TYPES OF SHIT. HE STILL HAS A COUPLE BOARDS HE CUSTOM MADE. REAL MAN SHIT. OH AND GENOVESE WAS A SHOP EMPLOYEE FROM DAY ONE AND HELPED PUT US ON THE MAP. HIS ART IS STILL HIDING IN RANDOM PLACES AROUND THE SHOP. MOSTLY JUST SWEAR WORDS AND DRAWINGS OF DEAD RATS.
