Share this article Shinola and Burton Snowboards have assembled a gift set honoring the memory of Jake Burton Carpenter, the man who launched the eponymous snowboard brand and is widely considered to be the founder of the sport. The Jake Burton Carpenter Shinola Gift Set includes a custom version of Shinola’s rugged “adventure-proof” Duck Watch, a full-size replica of Burton’s first production snowboard and a coffee table book filled with “images and stories gathered from family, friends and world-class photographers.” “After losing Jake to reoccurring cancer over a year ago, a small group of family and friends poured their hearts into creating this gift set as a tribute to my husband,” said Donna Carpenter, owner of Burton. “It all started with my youngest son Timi talking to Shinola founder and Jake’s close friend, Tom Kartsotis, about dedicating a Shinola Great Americans Series watch to Jake. The vision for the project grew exponentially from there. We were all deep in the grieving process, so working on this together was cathartic and helped us stay close to Jake. The end result is a true reflection of Jake’s passion, creative spirit and pure love of life.”
