What’s even crazier than this photo is that Bode Merrill’s favorite band is Sole Asylum.

Wolleman, why did you start pow surfing?

Salomon made a Powder snowskate around 2000 and that was the first time I rode bindingless in powder. It was so fun to fool around and kind of rediscover the same mountains I’ve been riding since a kid. I started making my own concrete mold to press wider skate decks for it and that’s how the whole board building thing started.

How did you make your first board and did it work? 

My friend Steve joined the mission to build a board inspired by fish surfboards. Our first board was so wide and heavy; it was a piece of shit. I brought it to Baldface for a trip, paid a $100 in overweight fees and the board sucked. It was just too wide. Anyway, the next board was pretty perfect and that was the one I rode in Optimistic.

Message Boardin

Desiree is a bad bitch that is on the forefront of women’s snowboarding with a number of progressive video parts and—in my opinion—the best style of any female. She continues to surprise the snowboarding world by thinking outside the box. Right now she is working on a very ambitious project called The United Slopes Of America where she is attempting to visit every resort in the U.S. to mingle with the locals, film everything along the way and write a book about the whole experience while living in a camper shell on the back of her Toyota that her and her father built by hand. More importantly for this column, Desiree is a very smart individual who is not afraid to voice her opinion, even if it offends everyone around her. That is why I asked her to do this Message Boardin’.

I haven’t been in tune with what you have been up to. What’s going on? This past winter I filmed with the Chuuch crew. It’s this local crew in Salt Lake. Buncha homies.
