A little Birdie landing on my window ledge the other night while I was sleeping and whispered it softly into my ear.
How do you like that L13?

I'm a huge fan and supporter of L13 since the beginning.
The water's too cold here man! not a huge wakeskate scene up here. I don't have any friends with a boat here either, didn't even bring a skate with me. But one of the guys at work wants to build a winch one of these days.
i'm originally from ontario btw. cottage in the kawartha's. |

They cater mostly to big mountain stuff and touring.. we make tons of split boards.. actually I think we sell mostly splitties. lots of race boards which sucks! lots of freeride boards and powder boards. We make freestyle boards but not to popular from prior. |

make some jibby boards! |
all the guys that work here just make a custom board anyways...... non of us even ride a production board. I think they just aren't interested in competing in the big money freestyle marketing show. |

| Gnarly Dancer 42, that's not lame at all. Big mountain is sick. There are so many park rats at every hill who can't even slaysh powder. Don't bash a company because they don't cater to your "jibby board" needs. |

Sorry gotta DISAGREE!
we still do ride production boards.. just most of us don't spend all our time splitboarding backcountry or riding giant pow sticks. we have company splitty trips and do it sometimes..just not what we do most of the time.
And if you could wouldn't you customize your own snowboards to make em exactly how you want? experiment with new shapes, try different glass? we been experimenting with a lot of carbon lately. I beleive we are the only company making carbon splitties actually. nothing lame at all... it also can be considered R&D. we try new things.
Custom boards is also what we specialize in too... We are a custom handmade snowboard shop. lots of our private orders are made to custom specs. you can call up and ask for a custom shape, custom stiffness.. custom graphics, whatever you want. |

never heard of prior but sounds pretty sick
its cool that snowboarding is big enough that companies can go their own directions and cater to different riders other than the 'park rat'
spear head looks sick for pow
