“Snowboarders around the world are some of Bob Marley’s most dedicated fans,” added Greg Dacyshyn, Chief Creative Officer at Burton Snowboards. “So we were honored to work with Marley & Co. on this project. With the help of the Marley family, we chose iconic /images from Bob Marley’s life for the board graphic, to pay tribute to his legacy, music and lifestyle. The history and heritage of both Burton and Bob Marley definitely come to life in this board.”
