300 years ago the Industrial Revolution had just started and America was still a British Colony. But also 300 years ago people in Petran, Turkey, were already snowboarding.

“Itโ€™s not snowboarding as we know it, but youโ€™ll recognize it. In this film by WRKSHRT, we follow Alex Yoder and Nick Russell into Turkeyโ€™s Kaรงkar Mountains on a quest to unearth the unlinked heritage of snowboarding and have some fun in the process.” – Patagonia Snow
