Shortly after inking a deal with The North Face, David Carrier Porcheron has signed on with Drake/Northwave for a two year board, boot, and binding deal.
According to the press release:
Recently participating in a photo shoot at Brighton Resort, the whole team was able to test out the 2010 line before its release at SIA and ISPO. DCP has been riding on Northwave “Decade” snowboard boots and Drake “Super Sport” and “Czar” bindings, he quotes: “The boots are so comfy, right off the shelves, and I really love the lacing system. I am stoked to be part of the team and I am looking forward to a powdery winter to represent.”
Among his sponsors, DCP has also recently signed with The North Face and is working with friends and business partners, JP Solberg and Romain Di Marchi, to start a new board company. In addition, he is also heavily involved with Spy Optics and they will be promoting his 5th pro-model out this year.
This winter DCP will mainly focus on filming with Absinthe for their new project, but may also be involved with other film productions and participate in a few major events.

Good to see that things are lookin’ good for you, DCP.
You’re a very respectable rider and person, dude!
But why did you quit the big B?
You’re a worker, ain’t you?
From your videoparts, the global snowboard scene thinks so, anyway.
We, over here, know that the climate at B hasn’t been optimal the last seasons, and that JP and Romain got the boot/quit, wasn’t the biggest surprise.
You, on the other hand, seemed to be a “for life” B-rider.
I’m not riding for the Italians, neither B, but it’s good for both TNF and NW to have you.
Good luck on your board project -I believe you’re gonna need it=)

I/we over her know he got the boot kinda direct, yeah…
-But on what grounds?
That he didn’t do his job? If so, EFF’em!
I’d say that he was, and will be for years to come, a rarely valuable team rider for any brand, including “Burden”.

You can also thank me as I’m the guy who keeps Mr. Gravis Analog running for no particular reason other than to milk free surf lessons in the maldives and get drunk with dr. evil and the rest of my “senior managers”

Does this mean that Burton is the new Powell Peralta circa 1990? a/k/a the biggest brand in the industry on the verge of taking a massive shit?
