Filmmaker, founder of Protect Our Winters, and freeride snowboarding legend, Jeremy Jones, has been ripping hard on a board for the past 30 years, and nearly 20 of those years were spent with trusted sponsor, O’Neill. Today, Jones parts ways with O’Neill after almost 2 decades of support from the Californian surf wear, surfboard, and snowboarding brand.
Jones announced in Facebook post today on Thursday, Feb. 6:
I recently parted ways with Oneill. A huge thank you to everyone at O’Neill for almost two decades of support.
You helped me go #deeperfurtherhigher and kept me warm and dry along the way.Thanks for supporting my crazy ideas.
Peace, love and pow to all of you. 🙏
Onward, upward and into the unknown I go. 🤘
With or without his longtime sponsor, we know that Jones will still be out there doing what he loves and what we love to watch — ripping the gnar.
who is his sponsor now for outerwear?
I smell a potential for Bogner to step into the snowboard market. The Jones Fartbag.
