Introducing the NorCal Snowboard Collection, a hidden gem displayed at The Hot Tub Store in Santa Rosa, CA.

This private collection of vintage snowboards is a true testament to the rich history and evolution of snowboarding. Sky Matula, the head coach of The Hot Tub Store team, has put together this remarkable collection. The gallery display showcases the love and dedication that has shaped the sport. Sky’s lifelong connection to snowboarding began at the age of 12, inspired by his father’s passion for downhill skiing. Sky is a passionate big mountain steeps rider who enjoys being out in the mountains carving sweeping turns through fresh powder.

Over the years, Sky accumulated a vast array of his own snowboards, unknowingly laying the foundation for the NorCal Snowboard Collection. As his collection grew, he discovered a vibrant community of like-minded individuals in the “Vintage Snowboard Traders” group on Facebook and the collector collective known as “Dig My Quiver.” This worldwide network of snowboard enthusiasts helped Sky expand his collection, making it a renowned treasure trove for vintage snowboard aficionados.

Curated by Sky Matula, the NorCal Snowboard Collection features boards from some of the most classic and influential brands in snowboarding history. Step into the gallery space and immerse yourself in the heritage of brands like Burton, Sims, Ride, Santa Cruz, Barfoot, GNU, Kemper, Joyride, Avalanche, and many more. Each board tells a story, a chapter in the progression of snowboarding and the industry as a whole. As you explore the collection, you’ll discover boards ridden by legends such as Terry Kidwell, Craig Kelly, Jeff Brushie, Terje Haakonsen, Jim Rippey, Noah Salaznek, among others. These boards bear witness to the talent and groundbreaking style of these pioneers, forever etching their names in snowboarding history.
