Jesse Kennedy has established himself as one of Australia's most exciting snowboarders. Breaking onto the scene at a young age with the Billabong AM team, Jesse has had himself an unbelievably consistent stint within the Aussie circuit. A combination of creativity and tasteful snowboarding, Jesse's riding output has become a joy to watch over the years. After recently joining the bolstering YES team, Jesse was put to work with a spontaneous trip to Japan and filmed a part for the brand's latest Tasman Team series.

We got the chance to catch up with the Perisher native for a one-on-one interview.
