Balancing the qualities of performance, durability and sustainability is one of the most difficult aspects of snowboard design. While we strive to use as many sustainable materials as possible, we trust our lives to these boards so we must value performance and durability equally as much.
To choose our materials we then carefully consider all three of these qualities with the goal of producing the most sustainable products possible without sacrificing performance.
This ECO-Performance design philosophy is the foundation upon which everything we make is made including our apparel and backpack lines.
The raw materials in our 2018 collection are the most sustainable we’ve ever used. Aside from our wood veneer and carbon topsheets, all of our boards now feature eco-plastic topsheets made from castor beans. All topsheet graphics are sublimated with water based inks and all of our boards also feature recycled ABS sidewalls, recycled steel edges and Wend Natural Wax.
