Patrick McCarthy is one of those positive people that never seems to be in a bad mood….And why would he be?  His snowboard career has spanned decades and he still gets more days that most.  For 12 years, he charged hard as a pro rider who put out banger parts every year chasing snow and the dream.  The whole time he was calculated, buying property and setting himself up for success in later life…but he never left snowboarding.  Now, he’s also the TM for his longtime sponsor 686, based out of Compton and this podcast is a fun conversation with a legendary Northwest dude.
