JOHN EMBERLY - NA Team Manager

Home Town:
Martinique Beach, NS

Sponsors:
Kombi, Sessions, Giro, Dragon, Nordica

Favorite Movie:
September Sessions (Jack Johnson)

In the I pod:
Definitely some Alexisonfire, Led Zeppelin, and Guns n Roses for charging and some City and Color, Matt Mays, and Donovan Frankenreiter  for chill time.

Fav place to ride:
Anywhere with friends. Love going to new places and meeting new people. I love just being on snow.

Fav people to ride with:
The entire Darkside crew, Erin, Davis (and his Gerbils), Hart-attack, Thor, and Rage are my people. These guys definitely push me influence me the most.

Last trick I've learned:
Rodeo truck drivers on snow and "The Goat" for extra curricular events.

Influences:
I'm so influenced by the people I meet and places I visit.  I get a lot of influence from the water and how relaxed and mellow the surf culture is. They're always so amped and supportive, where too many times people are too competitive and agro on snow. I definitely have to say my friends and family have made me the person I am.

Hobbies:
Surfing, traveling, downtime at the home and the beach.

Any last words/shout-outs:
Word-up to Mark and Brian at Kombi, Dave and Jeff at Dragon, Mike and Alain at Sessions, Jim and Chuck at Giro, and Steve at Nordica.  My whole crew who keeps me entertained and influenced on snow and in life.  Merrick and Erin who allow
me to be the person I am. Stay positive, focused, and be sure to soak up all the life has to offer.

Peace out. John
