Guch on Fatherhood: I find endless inspiration in fatherhood. I really enjoy sharing the little miracles of life with them. To see the excitement of discovery put a sparkle in their eye fills my heart with joy. It’s without a doubt the best thing that’s ever happened to me.
Bryan Iguchi was born and raised in Southern California. He grew up riding Snow Summit in the heat of snowboarding’s uprise, and was a key element to the progression of man-made snowboard parks. After his time in California, he packed up shop and escaped for the mountains, landing in beautiful Wyoming in a little place called Jackson Hole where he would find his ultimate paradise. Two decades later, Guch is considered the godfather of the Jackson Hole snowboard community and still an active player on the mountains today. He’s part of the “older” generation nowadays, but it’s safe to say he snowboards twice as much as the younger up-and-comers due to his unconditional love for the sport. He was one of the first snowboarders added to the Volcom Stone team roster in 1991 and has become the foundation of what Volcom Snowboarding is today.
Gavin on Fatherhood: Let your kids follow their own dreams. Don’t push them in any direction, but always be there to support them. Always be positive and help shed light from above.
As a youngster, Gavin Beschen grew up in Southern California in San Clemente, a strong, tight-knit surf community which houses the famous Lower, Trestles point break. Gavin’s fluid and effortless style is one-of-a-kind, but he grew up admiring local San Clemente guys like Dino Andino, Matt Archbold, and the McNulty brothers for their raw power and humble support. After graduating high school in ’94, Gavin spent a majority of his time on the North Shore of Oahu, and two years later found himself calling it his home. Now, twenty years later, and Gavin is still loving the paradise that he found, calling it “a piece of heaven,” living his dream with his wife and young son.

Ozzie on Fatherhood: Trying to be the best man you can be and leading by example says more than just telling your kids what to do all the time. Making sure you are healthy and you’ll be coming home to them ’til they are old enough to look after themselves.
