Team
Ty Turner
Ty is the inaugural Team Kindred rider. He has been with us since 2014,
but Evan and Ty's friendship reaches back decades. They grew up riding
and working at Calgary Olympic Park together, and moved out to Vancouver
Island after highschool to chase deep snow. Ty has tested many of our
makes and models over the years while working with K3 cat skiing in
Revelstoke. More recently we have been helping Ty narrow down a new
quiver as he navigates his journey as a bilateral amputee snowboarder.
Ty won a gold and Bronze at the 2022 Paralympics in Boarder X and Banked Slalom respectively. If you enjoy

Tamo Campos
Tamo has been a Kindred team rider since 2014. He uses his love of
snowboarding and splitboarding to spark bigger conversations. He spends
his life learning, exploring and advocating for social justice via film
making, youth empowerment and activism. He shreds the gnar, but more
importantly he walks the talk. Follow some of Tamo's work through Beyond
Boarding via Instagram @beyondboarding
Pat Kitto
Pat is a staple in the Vancouver Island snowboard community. Whether he is making
tracks up Forbidden Plateau, coaching with his JumpCamp program for
local youth, or collecting donated boards to get them in the hands of
some up and coming shredders, you are bound to find a big smile on this
guy's face! Follow Pat on Instagram @_jumpcamp_
Andrew Wood
Andrew grew up in Black Creek, BC (recognize the name?) and spent his time rippping at Mount Washington. Now he shreds mostly Red Mountain or the Rossland, BC backcountry. He is an elementary school teacher by day, and
a shredder by pow day and weekend lap. He takes big drops, long slashes, and excels at all aspects of snowboarding. Follow Woody for words and shred updates on Instagram @woodseasnow
Niki Kelly
Niki is a snowboarder, adventurer, photographer, and vanlifer focused on
living life to the fullest. She calls Kicking Horse Resort her home
mountain. We first caught wind of Niki when her employer contacted us.
They wanted us to build a high-performance custom snowboard for a
special employee who would be spending her winter season competing in as
many of the Freeride Qualifying competitions as she could. When Niki
used that first board to qualify and compete for Canada in the 2019
Freeride World Tour we knew that we wanted to continue to support her
journey. This woman throws down! Follow Niki's adventures on Instagram
