In Memory of Jake Burton Carpenter

At Camber Outdoors, we share in the industry’s sorrow and celebration of Jake Burton Carpenter who passed away this week. As the founder of Burton Snowboards, he was a pioneer of innovation who brought the snowboard to the masses and helped turn the sport into a billion-dollar business. Our hearts are with Jake’s wife, Burton co-founder and co-CEO, Donna Carpenter who serves on the Camber Outdoors Board of Directors. Both believe that the spirit of inclusion and leadership are vital to the well-being of Burton, and that women must be an indispensable part of the management team at outdoor companies. Jake and Donna became our Camber Outdoors family over the years. And we are thankful. The impact of Jake’s life’s work will live on.
