Interview with Founder Brad Steward
Bonfire Founder Brad Steward would rather stay behind the scenes or behind the camera, but he’s got stories. Former TWS Editor Billy Miller puts him in the spotlight to reflect on 20 years of Bonfire and the current state of snowboarding.
Today at Bonfire
Today at Bonfire we house our design, development and marketing offices in a quiet warehousing district on the east side of the Willamette River. We’re just over an hour away from Mt. hood and a 3 minute skate to the Burnside Skate Park. The world we move in keeps getting bigger, but Bonfire still feels like a very personal project. It’s a labor of love for a group of people who care about snowboarding, good design, new ideas, and staying true to our roots.
