Technine is proud to announce the addition of Travis Kennedy to the Technine Team. Kennedy will be getting on the full Technine program and riding boards, bindings and outerwear. T.K. will join the ranks of Technine pros MFM, Lucas Magoon, Simon Chamberlain, Chris Bradshaw, Derek Dennison, Dylan Thompson and Jonah Owen.
“T.K. is really hyped up this season and the whole crew is stoked to have him on the program. He is a great addition to the Technine team as well as to the FODT movie,“ Says Cole Taylor of Technine and FODT films. “T.K. is hungry and ready to get out there show people what time it is.”
“I can’t wait to shoot photos of T.K. out in the backcountry this year,” says Technine founder and photographer E-Stone. “Kids think T.K. is this crazy jibber but the truth is he is super well-rounded and destroys the backcountry as well as the streets. I have been a fan of Travis Kennedy for years! I can’t wait to see what he pulls off with a Technine under his feet.”
“I’m hyped to be working with the whole Technine fam. It feels good to get a fresh start with a company that is my style 100 percent. I back everything about Technine and now they have my back in return. I’m ready to work hard and kill it with one of the sickest crews in snowboarding. I’m just getting started!” says Travis.
Travis has been out in Tahoe, California working hard with the FODT /MFM and friends crew. Travis has been putting together what he calls “the best video part of his life.” Look out for the new film dropping this fall.

Music was and still is the major influence of Technine lifestyle and branding. I was thinking about back in the day (early 90’s) when Technine was born and what music we were bumping out of the Sunridge Closet Soundsystem hosted by Mic man E Stone and Dj’s Ali and Matty L. Since I was from the West Coast I was runnin with NWA, Snoop, Too Short and rap groups of that sort that are now classics..These East Coast heads were all about the Dancehall/Rudebwoy Reggae..You will always see Rasta flavored designs in the Technine line all stemming back from Technine roots in the early years. Here are a few videos that made me reminisce.
