Kevin Lee Royes - FNRad SE09E11

Send us Fan MailKevin Royes is the inventor behind Bakoda accessories. In the 90's Kevin innovated leashes, stomp pads, locks, waxing and binding tools. He took accessories to another level by signing Devun Walsh and half the Forum 8 to the Bakoda team. Then he sold Bakoda to Northwave and Drake in 1998. 20 years later when I tried to track him down Kevin was no where to be found. So when I got a phone call from him this summer I was stoked. This lead to a meeting up for this interview which took place in his RV while it poured rain outside... enjoy!! It was worth the wait!The Ninth Season of the FNRad Podcast is Presented by Skyview CampersSocial: https://www.instagram.com/skyviewcampersWebsite: https://www.skyviewcampers.comSponsored by:Wired Snowboards Social: https://www.instagram.com/wiredsnowboards Website: https://wiredsnowboards.comThe Boardroom Snowboard Shop Social: https://www.instagram.com/boardroomshop Website: https://boardroomshop.com                 Fix Snowboard BindingsSocial: https://www.instagram.com/fixbindingco Website: https://fixbindingco.comRipcurl Outerwear  Social: https://www.instagram.com/ripcurl Website: https://ripcurl.com NewGreens Social: https://www.instagram.com/newgreens Website: https://newgreens.comSupport also comes from:Tribute Board Shop in Nelson BC. Social: https://www.instagram.com/tributeboardshop Website: https://tributeboardshop.caGrouse Mountain Social: https://www.instagram.com/grousemountain Website: https://www.grousemountain.comMt Seymour Social: https://www.instagram.com/mtseymour Website: https://mtseymour.caPro Standard Social: https://www.instagram.com/prostandard Website: https://www.prostandard.comBN3TH Social: https://www.instagram.com/bn3thapparel Website: https://www.bn3th.com                1910Social: https://www.instagram.com/_9teenten_ Website: https://9teenten.com Special Thanks To:       The HavenSocial: https://www.instagram.com/havengabriola Website: https://haven.caSupport the showCheck us out at https://www.fnradpodcast.comFNRad 12 is presented by Phantom Helihttps://phantomheli.com/Linestryhttps://linestry.com/FNRad 12 Sponsors:Burton Snowboardshttps://www.burton.comBluebird Coffee Tuning and Rentalshttps://bluebirdsquamish.com/Anon Opticshttps://www.burton.com/en-ca/collections/gogglesThe Pro Standard Step On and Supermatic Quick Releasehttps://www.prostandard.com/products/push-button-quick-release-upgrade-for-step-on-bindingsMint Tourshttps://minttours.com/FNRad 12 SupportPacific Boarderhttps://pacificboarder.com/Mount Seymourhttps://mtseymour.ca/Grouse Mountainhttps://www.grousemountain.com/Cypress Mountainhttps://www.cypressmountain.com/Baldy Mountain Resort in Osoyoos BC...
