A true all-terrain board sports prodigy joins the podcast! UNLEASHED is proud to welcome snowboarder and multi-sport phenom Judd Henkes from Southern California. In his exclusive interview with The Dingo, Danny, and Brittney, the 22-year-old from La Jolla, California, details his passion for snowboarding and surfing, documented in the new Monster Energy film ‘Greenhorn‘, directed by the visionary Spencer Whiting, aka Gimbal God.
Raised on the sunny beaches of La Jolla, California, Judd Henkes was destined to evolve into an all-around boardsports talent. After picking up snowboarding at the early age of four, skating and surfing came close behind. Over the years, Henkes rapidly progressed in all three board sports while excelling in all snowboard disciplines, a testament to his natural riding style and technical ability. At the mere age of 14, Henkes turned heads with an unprecedented fifth-place finish in Halfpipe at the vaunted 2016 Burton U.S. Open. As a member of the Mammoth Mountain Snowboard Team, he’s been competing on the big stage in X Games and Dew Tour contests since 2019. As his next challenge, Henkes aims to represent the United States in the Winter Olympics as part of Team USA. Despite his contest ambitions, Judd also took on the challenge to showcase both his snowboarding and equally adept surfing skills in his new film ‘Greenhorn’, documented behind the lens of progressive and hyper-creative Spencer Whiting.
