Snowboard Expert Bobby Chadderton

    • Bobby Chadderton

    As a Canadian living in the Rocky Mountains, chasing winter is in my blood.

    ​

    I joined the snowboard industry in college when I helped lead Temple University's Snowboard Club and caught a glimpse of turning my passion into a career. I’m a snowboard writer, gear junkie, and a self-proclaimed spreader-of-stoke.

    ​

    In the winter, I work full-time as a snowboard instructor at Breckenridge and take my passion home with me at the end of the day to help you find your dream setup.

    Really knowledgable
    I recently moved closer to Tahoe and with that, would like to really dive into snowboarding. The board I currently have I bought off a friend for 20$, so I was definitely looking for another board that was my correct size and a board I could grow into. Bobby understood my needs and gave great knowledgable recommendations and I'm very excited about the board I chose! Overall the experience was very easy and it really helped to take the guess work out of buying a new board.

    Awesome Company & Great Customer Service
    We worked with Bobby Chadderton who was so great to deal with. He went above and beyond working with me and my son to get the best set up for his new snowboard. Tons of back and forth with different options and suggestions as well as personalized video chats to make sure we were getting what we needed!! Such a great experience that I couldn’t be happier and can’t say enough about Bobby!!

    knowledgable and personable
    I never want to feel as though I left without having answers to my questions or feeling that I could not get where I wanted to get when purchasing or inquiring about something. When talking to Bobby, he made it a personable experience in which his knowledge and understanding of the consumers' needs met seamlessly. Personally, that's all any consumer wants. So thank you, I look forward to shredding down the mountain.

    All around great dude
    I purchased a set of boots and it just so happened that they didn't have them in stock. He felt so bad, he went out of his way to find me other options. Curated also came through, shit happens, but they hooked me up for the inconvenience. Long story short, after hunting and searching for a week he found me the boots that I wanted! Bobby totally went out of his way to make things happen and make sure I got what I wanted. Definetly a stand up guy and salesman. He didn't have to do half of what he did, but he did. I will definitely be back again for more purchases!!

    Helpful and Fast!
    Bobby helped me find a good deal on my first splitboard puck and binding setup - he was very helpful and kept checking back in with me as he found other options I may be interested in. Once I did place my order, the shipping was super fast and everything came exactly as ordered. I'd definitely use Curated again in the future and work with Bobby for any snowboarding related purchase. Thanks!

    Bobby is the dude!!
    Super friendly, super helpful. Bobby sent me several solid options right away and followed up with me helping fine-tune exactly what I was looking for. Ended up grabbing his #1 suggestion and I am SO stoked to break it out this season. Very happy that I found Curated and was able to set myself up to shred in style. 5 stars all around!!

    The man!!
    Bobby was extremely helpful and honest!! After riding the same board for 20 years, it was time for an upgrade! This is not a decision I made lightly! Bobby made excellent recommendations! I can’t wait for my new rig to arrive! Highly recommend Bobby, and will continue to work with him to make sure I am ready for the season!

    Quick and easy process
    Bobby answered all my questions quickly and professionally. He gave me a solid list of snowboards and bindings that would fit my style of riding. After doing my own research the feed back he gave me matched with everything i read so it really helped me narrow my search down to feel comfortable with my purchase. Thanks Bobby!

    Great experience
    My gear was 20 years old. Burton Clash with step in bindings.the problem I had was that my boots broke. I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money on a whole new setup being that I couldn’t find a new boot for that set up. Also the old Burton binding pattern didn’t match any of the new bindings. Bobby was able to find a plate and recommended some Mission Re: Flex bindings and K2 Maysis boots. Super stoked to get out on the slopes again
