Kris Swierz

Kris Swierz was a pro snowboarder on the Sims team when the team included Todd Richards, Chris Roach, Terry Kidwell, and Shaun Palmer. Kris competed in halfpipe and eventually landed a solid contract with Liquid Snowboards. He traveled the world with the Ride, Liquid, and 5150 pro team which included more heavies like Brushie, Ranquet, and Rocket Reeves. Kris is now living in Baja Mexico, surfing everyday and running Topia Retreat in Pescadero. When my wife and I took a trip to Mexico in February I made sure to bring a handy recorder to get an interview with Kris Swierz about his life in Snowboarding.
