Windells sponsors celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness month

October 19, 2012 By 3 Comments

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Windells Camp sponsors are down for the cause! Tons of athletes celebrities are joining in to promote health and wellness, and the action sports industry is perhaps creating the biggest waves in the fight against breast cancer.

Gnu, Bonfire, and Burton Snowboards have backed Boarding for Breast Cancer for a number of years. Gnu is holding a facebook contest to win a B-Pro board, an ultra-majestic Banana Tech Magni-Traction freestyle board, in support of the movement. The Keep a Breast foundation just unveiled the “my pink ribbon” campaign, and rounded up a slew of industry supporters. Skateboard culture influencers Windsor James, Jon Goemann, Salman Agah and  Kenny Anderson joined in with KAB as showcased in a recent article by ESPN.

Check out Windells Camp sponsors’ involvement with breast cancer awareness projects like B4BC’s Campus Outreach Tour and KAB’s Treasured Chest project. Get down with the lifestyle! Windells Camp is the perfect place to get on a board for the first time. Beginner snowboard camps and skate camps are a great way to learn the basics and build skills to live the “funnest” life possible.


These guys love boobs, too.

Do you want a rocker snowboard? Would you prefer fatter skis? How about a jib board? Or stiff skis? And you haven’t even started to think about bindings and boots! Well, here at Windells, Demo Manager Nick can help you try out products before you buy anything this coming season. [Read more...]

Burton Stands Sideways in Denver

September 22, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Premier season is in full swing! Whether you are a skier, a snowboarder, or a skateboarder, premier season has something for everyone. The crowds, the parties, the overall feeling of being stoked, it’s too good to be true. Denver blew up last week with the world premier of the new film Standing Sideways. The whole Burton crew arrived in style for the first of many showings of this amazing movie.

It seemed like every other person in the audience had been an employee or a camper of Windells at one time! It was great to have such a huge presence in the packed house of the Ogden Theatre. The movie played and the building roared. Burton created an experience that left viewers wanting more and more! Every big air was unreal, every song was spot on, and the simplicity of the film was what viewers needed from a Burton production. They nailed it.

It’s safe to say that Standing Sideways will be talked about from coast to coast as the tour rolls on. Hopefully this film didn’t cause too much sick airness, but if so, everyone walked out of the theater with a free copy of the movie packaged in a barf bag for their convenience. How thoughtful Burton.

Check out the recap below of the world premier in Denver and make sure to catch the show when it comes to your town! Happy movie watching everyone.

At the end of the day, if it was not for our sponsors donating unlimited amounts of product and promoting athlete appearances to Windells Camp, it just would,nt not be the same. High Fives for the industry! Below are a few videos of companies that have shown great support over the years. Obviously, there are more companies then listed below but we can not show them all?

Enjoy.

Campus BagJump

April 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment

New for 2010 – a DrySlope Leading into jumps, launching campers into Windells BagJump.  This is being built as we speak on Windells 53 acre Private Campus.  It is nice having our own spot, it enables us to continue to grow the camp with the industry, this is something most other camps do not have the advantage to do.

It is hard to tell what is going on from this picture – but there he is, smoothing out the dirt.  You can see the flat area where the BAG will live, and then the DROP IN area is the zone up from there, that is partially cleared out!

Here is a picture of the DrySlope Frame.  100 percent recycled galvanized steal, Windells doing their part to be GREEN.  We are also building a DrySlope with 5 Jib Options – Stay Tuned for more info.
