Common Folk in the Boat (Ep. 18 - Andrew Beckler)

Presented by Billo Premium Cannabis, in this episode, Dave and Eli talk to Andrew Beckler, founder of Grass Sticks.

A former engineer turned ski enthusiast, Beckler created Grass Sticks in 2014 after growing frustrated with the limitations of traditional aluminum and carbon fiber ski poles. His aim was to provide an eco-friendly, high-performance alternative that combines strength, flexibility, and style.

Grass Sticks poles are handcrafted in Steamboat Springs using Calcutta bamboo, known for its impressive tensile and compressive strengths. This material offers environmental benefits by absorbing more CO2 and producing more oxygen per acre than traditional wood sources. The custom poles are made to order, allowing users to select vibrant combinations of baskets and grips, ensuring they not only perform well but also look great on the slopes or trails. Grass Sticks has gained popularity among outdoor enthusiasts for its commitment to sustainability and quality craftsmanship.

Find out how Andrew discovered the benefits of bamboo, and the ways the Steamboat Springs community have helped inspire Andrew along the way.
