Let's make this birthday one to remember.

70 years old (Born on April 29, 1954)

Happy Birthday to the legendary Jake Burton Carpenter! You've carved your way through powder, built an empire from a backyard barn into Burton Snowboards—a $100 million-dollar global phenomenon—and made snowboarding cooler than penguins in sunglasses. Your vision turned slopes worldwide into playgrounds for thrill-seekers and inspired generations of snowboard enthusiasts.

From pioneering innovative gear that transformed winter sports forever, to championing athletes who soared higher (and landed softer), you've truly mastered turning passion into success—one epic ride at a time. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as fresh snowfall on opening day!

Keep shreddin', Jake!
