Darrin Maharaj came to shoot a segment for Telus TV (don’t worry, we didn’t know there was a Telus TV either….it’s new to give Shaw a run for their money).  I made a custom one-off graphic board for him and they shot the entire production process for the show which is really cool.  A big thanks to Darrin and cameraman Phil for such an entertaining morning.

Introducing the late model for the 08/09 season, the Shamen’s Touch is our new design by local Calgarian Mark Kowalchuk.  Mark has this painting in the stairwell of his house and we just new how sick it would look on the base of a board.   

Our team manager Mike Dunlop sent me some pics of some urban jibbing they’ve been doing over the past few weeks.  This is the perfect time to give photographer Jonathan Groeneweg a plug and thank him for all the great shots.

Lots of people don’t know this, but we now offer custom graphic snowboards!  You design it, we build it.  As long as you or someone you know can use Photoshop or Illustrator, you’re as good as gold.  Email or call us for details.

Due to surging demand for custom boards, I have decided to launch a dedicated website where you will be able to download board templates and upload your graphics (and pay online which makes everone’s lives easier).  It’s called The Rabbit Lab and it will be live in the next couple of weeks.  I will keep you posted no doubt.  Why The Rabbit Lab?  Well, our factory in Calgary is surrounded by those little rapidly breeding suckers, so it only makes sense.  Stay tuned!

Just a quick note…the showroom will be closed tomorrow (November 7th) as we will be down at the Calgary SnowShow.  Word.

Our team manager Mike Dunlop has managed to recruit our most high-profile rider to date, Mr. Ryan Hall to the Clyde team and we couldn’t be more pumped.  If you’ve seen Ryan’s part in Sandbox’s newest flick All Day Every Day then you’ll know why.  My guess is that you’re going to see HUGE things from Clyde and Ryan in the near future.

All Clyde boards start at $419 Canadian plus GST.  Now that doesn’t mean you get some lame watered down version of a good deck…you can actually get a customized board for $419….you pick the graphic, you pick the size.  Now, having said that you can also add what is known as the Performance Upgrade for an extra $100 and you will get all the bells and whistles including Carbon stringers, multi-layer vibration dampening, and much, much more.

Simply email or call us with your order and payment type (we take Visa, Master Card, cheques, etc…) and in one-two weeks you will have your custom dream ride.  That’s it!
