Sessions MFG: snowboarding since 1983 Sessions is a prolific brand with over 30 years of counter culture influence.

Beginning as the first snowboard shop in North America, out of the Nor Cal surf mecca Santa Cruz, Sessions proudly stands with pioneer brands. Our product has been avant-gaurde for many of the decades inspired by old team members that have become snowboarding/skateboarding icons. Sessions is legendary, relevant and still snowboarding since 1983.

This Terry Kidwell photo by Bud Fawcett was the second snowboarding tee I released a few years back. Grab yours before they’re gone—once the current stock sells out, that’s it. No reprints!

The 1985 Snowboarding World Pro-Am at Soda Springs was one of those weekends you wish would never end.

Who competed in this contest?

I made lifelong friends that weekend, and I’ll never forget the competitive rivalry between the Sims team riders and Burton. Those were special times in snowboarding history, and I feel lucky to have been part of it.

I also printed the tees and sweatshirt pictured in the back for Sessions Snowboard Shop. Making one huge mistake, though—I printed “Nationals” instead of “World Pro-Am” on the front. That’s a story for another time! Joel Gomez

Throwback Thursday: Snowboarding in 1993 was on fire... the scene was at an all-time high; the style mattered! We were one community. -Joel Joel Gomez

Throwback Thursday: Around the time I launched Sessions Outerwear, I joined Santa Cruz Snowboards as the Snowboard Team Manager and Marketing dude. The second photo captures Roach, me, and Ranquet during a shoot for this ad.

This ad played on Roach and Ranquet being kicked out of a Snowboard contest in Japan and sent home... classic times.

Those early to mid 1980’s—when 99% of the skateparks had closed, skate mags had disappeared, and it felt like skateboarding was hanging by a thread. Then there was Thrasher, my beat-up skateboards, and the places we rode… backyard ramps, empty pools, and ditches. Punk Rock and Skateboarding is what we did...
I still have that Hosoi and Sims Doug DeMontmorency.

Throwback Thursday: 1988 (I think...) 2-page SESSIONS mail-order ad that ran in Thrasher Mag. Who remembers seeing these ads?

Throwback Thursday: This was the first SESSIONS Snowboard Shop tee I ever printed featuring Jake Burton (RIP).

I printed this shirt in the back of the shop in the spring of 1984. At the time, I had a four-color screen printer and a small dryer, and that’s how I printed all of my SESSIONS Snowboard & Skateboard Shop tees back in the day—just a small shop, some equipment, and a lot of passion for snowboarding and skateboarding.

I wore the shirt to SIA the following year. I still remember Jake being stoked to see his image on one of my Sessions shop tees. -Joel Joel Gomez
