I bet theres so many people that remember him in snowboarding that dont even know hes a pro skater too.
I doubt there's many grown ups who don't know now but I remember when I was a kid and people started snowskating in the winter here.. The most popular board was the Cardiel snowskate and I didn't really know or understand if it was the same guy as the skater or not. I didn't find out until years later when internet got bigger. He just seemed to be doing everything but none of us knew who he was really, we were just kids.
Fuckin love Cardiel man, he makes it seem like there's no such thing as a bad day. Always doing his thing.
