The Most Creative Man on a Snowboard | Zeb Powell

What can we even say about the superstar force that Zeb has become in the world of snowboarding...

Zeb debuted as a breakout star in Knuckle Huck; Zeb Powell casually claimed gold in his first ever X Games appearance at Aspen 2020, wearing heart-shaped pink sunglasses he found on the ground moments before the contest. He has come to embody everything people love about Knuckle Huck: wild, stylish, creative, unconventional, innovative, unpredictable. Zeb’s path took him from North Carolina--hardly a snowboard hotbed--to a scholarship student at the famed Stratton Mountain School, where he sharpened his skills. The attention from his X Games victory put a spotlight on how few Black athletes are represented in professional snowboarding, and it lit a fire inside him to start initiatives like the Slide-In Tour and Culture Shifters to help change the face of the sport.

About MY TURN
You can tell a lot about a rider by the way they turn. The tracks we each leave behind tell a story, saying, “This is how I do it.” But when we ride, we’re not always on a board, and our turns take many forms. MY TURN gives people from Burton’s community a blank canvas to take their turn, make their mark, and tell their story.
