From The Snow To The Surf

Ex-pro snowboarder Colter Deupree breaks down his snowboard-inspired designs

If you were to walk into the shaping bay of pro snowboarder-turned-shaper Colter Deupree and pick up one of his boards, you might, just for a split second, believe you’re holding something made for carving down snow-covered mountains. That’s because Deupree’s shapes simulate the outline of a snowboard: they feature wide noses and tails, narrow centers, and inward sidecuts in the middle, all combined with the goal of creating a surfboard with easy glide and friction-free speed. Here, he breaks down recent updates he’s made to his left field designs.
