Windlip (Cornice) : The shape of a perfect wave formed by wind driven snow.

We are very proud of the boards we make. The natural shapes and elegant graphics evoke notions of big mountains, backcountry riding and graceful craftsmanship.

Snowboards are more than just tools for riding down the piste. To passionate, dedicated riders, they can be a talisman in dangerous conditions on perilous mountains. A work of art, or a trusted companion. Seasoned riders often describe their boards as magic and because the best boards are hand crafted they are hard to find!

Team rider Damien Donner on the Woody in his home patch, The Chamonix Valley!

This snowboard is about speed, response and edge hold in the knarliest of conditions. The powerful pro-rider flex make the “Woody” perfect for big lines and hard carving. It makes clean turns when snowboarding powder or on-piste and blows away the competition on the boarder-cross course. With wood/carbon and flax construction over a Ptex 4400 base and a gorgeous walnut top-sheet, this board has definitely got wood!

Team rider Aitzol practising freestyle on his Viper!

If you want to rip up the whole mountain then this is the weapon of choice! A shape thats stable at speed but can be loaded for the transitions. Any energy you put in comes back in spades due to the carbon & glass triax construction. Low weight and mid flex , mean you can shred all day on this while the guys on the pro rider flex have bailed long ago!

The “Viper” All mountain. 157-166cm

Wide enough not to be a balancing act, soft enough to be quick edge to edge at slow speeds like tight trees and still powerful enough for charging. Thats the idea behind the "Viper". A wide version is available for big guys. The complex side cut is designed to make a quick entry into the turn, a stable predictable mid turn and  a locked down finish to load up for the next turn.

Team rider Kim taking his bamboo to the limit!

We started using bamboo in our “Ethic build” snowboard several years ago for its green credentials. But we find it so much like a natural carbon fibre that we have incorporated it into our new freestyle board. It also has a bamboo core and between that and the bamboo structural topsheet you feel a different kind of “Pop”. Agility and light control is what we were after here, like freestyle you might say! Suitable for all levels who just wanna play! Available in 145, 150, 155, 160 and 163cm in a choice of 4 metallic colours.

The boss! Dan in the pow!

Snowboarding in heavy deep powder benefits from a board with a slimmer nose, more like a surf board to help you rise above the snow. Its also good to have a tail slimmer than the nose with a small cutout to help that sink down (Thereby helping the nose to rise) and last of all rocker along its length, again to lift the nose. The "Bluebird" is such a board and its a completely different kind of ride.  The construction is of the same high quality as the rest of our boards but we carry the waterproof Paulownia wood core all the way to the edges of the board to suit the overall wood look, complimented by the topsheet of white feathered oak and mahogany veneer, originally cut in the 1970's as water-ski veneer!

Available in 163cm. Build time: 3 weeks

Side cut:8.6m, Width:310, 260.5, 308. Rider weight 65-100kg

The “Bluebird” Powder weapon. 163cm

Hot action on the boarderX circuit!

Stability at speed on hard unforgiving courses and edge hold are what this board is all about. Massive amounts of torsion and a pro-rider flex help to lock this board down and the ultra long running length keep it accelerating through every turn.
