And the winner is… Gus Engle!
The House Boardshop’s very own Gus Engle was recently awarded a prestigious award from Method Magazine. Each year Method Mag hands out cleverly titled awards to standout snowboarders in the industry. Gus was awarded the “Jack Kerouac Award” for the 2010/2011 season.
While we’re not exactly clear what that means, we’re still proud of Gus. Congrats! Here’s what Method Mag had to say about the accolade:
The Jack Kerouac Award: Gus Engle for being our favorite footloose beatnik bum. To quote Kerouac, “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes “Awww!” That’s Gus.
