【Ultra Rare - Not for Sale】JAKE BURTON Memorial Book

Rare Not For Sale / JAKE BURTON MEMORIAL BOOK

Jake Burton Carpenter, the man who created the culture of snowboarding itself.
This memorial book was produced and distributed by BURTON after his passing in 2019.
It was never sold to the public, only distributed to global staff and specific individuals.
This is a true not for sale item that is rarely, if ever, seen on Mercari or any other marketplace, domestic or international.

I received this book from the company when I was working as a staff member at a BURTON authorized retailer.
It is a volume that only those involved as staff could obtain.

I have kept it carefully, but I have decided to list it because I want it to go to someone who truly understands the history of snowboarding and Jake's spirit, and who will carry it forward to the next generation.
Even if you can't read English, his passion will be fully conveyed through the photos and artwork alone.
However, I hope you will try to read about Jake's philosophy, upbringing, etc., even if you have to translate it.
I believe this is a highly valuable collector's item that will become increasingly difficult to obtain as time goes by.
