When Jared Elston joins the crew, you build him his dream pro-model — no questions asked. The El Camino is the board he’ll be repping all season long, engineered to compliment his backcountry bruiser riding style. Parabolic camber and slightly directional shaping combine with a burly flex for maximum freeride performance. Think big lines, big air, and big cajones.
The Bryan Iguchi Pro has been a mainstay in the snowboarding world for over a decade, and it shows no sign of slowing down. The 25/26 model keeps the story going with a wider waist, a softer flex profile, a little more setback, and a smidge more taper to fine tune its all mountain capabilities.
Bataleon is rolling out their new Fast Entry Bindings, and we’re excited to see how they integrate with the brand’s signature tech. With a design similar to other quick-entry systems launching in 25/26, these bindings are set to bring even more convenience and performance to the Bataleon lineup. We can’t wait to see them in action!
We love the Bataleon Whatever Rop van Mierlo Special Edition—a stunning collaboration with the Dutch artist and snowboarder known for his bold watercolor animals. Based in Amsterdam, Rop brings his signature style to the slopes with a unique feline design for each board size. It’s a wild and beautiful collection of cats that makes every size one-of-a-kind.
We’re all about the creative energy behind Bent Metal’s artistic collabs this season. The Transfer bindings pay tribute to Mike Parillo’s 30 years of groundbreaking art with a stunning Lib Tech collaboration, while the Axtion bindings team up with GNU to deliver high-performance freestyle tech wrapped in eye-catching graphics that perfectly match the Gremlin.
We’re stoked on this new snowboard duo: the Facts for the guys and the Fiction for the ladies. Fun, easy to ride, and priced just right, these boards are perfect for cruising, carving, and progressing with style. Built for all-mountain good times, they’re ready for anything—we can’t wait to get out there and rip!
New for the 25/26 season, we’re fired up to ride the all-new Wagyu—designed by team rider Cannon Cummins and built to bring the heat. This freestyle beast is thick with style and performance, ready to serve up serious stoke in the park and beyond. Topped off with eye-catching artwork by Jayden Chomlack, the Wagyu is as bold as it is rideable.
We’re loving Ryder Biolos’ bold artwork on the Barrett—Barrett Christy’s iconic pro model. The standout colors make a statement on the mountain, and even better, a portion of the proceeds supports Boarding for Breast Cancer @b4bc. This board doesn’t just look good—it rides with purpose.
Anytime you hear about an upgrade, it’s exciting—but this new board, literally named the “Upgrade,” is packed full of tech, and we’re so excited to shred it! Think ultralight Secret Glass Fiber… directional triple-radius sidecuts… carbon fiber additions… or… don’t go that deep and just know this board is gonna upgrade your skill level hardcore. Jeff “Hendo” Henderson’s high-tech resort freestyle stick, built to celebrate 30 years of innovation, is gonna knock our socks off.
The Howler is an all new directional freeride board designed in collaboration with Victor de Le Rue and Elena Hight. Available in both men’s and women’s models, it features a mildly tapered directional shape with a hybrid full camber profile for maximum energy and confidence in steep, technical terrain.
These fan favorite all mountain rippers get a fresh shape for 2026 featuring a long nose, 5mm tapered tail, and directional rocker. A longer sidecut and wider profile provide edge-hold and stability for everyday resort riding, with 3D Flip Tip contouring up front to keep things floaty.
We’re so excited to see another board in the Dopamine Collection by K2—a feel-good series curated by Sage Kotsenburg. The all-new Sky Pilot joins the Antidote as a freeride directional volume-shifted board, built for big mountain riding in both freeride and freestyle terrain. It’s a little softer than the Antidote and features a touch of rocker in the tip and tail, rather than being fully cambered. We love where this is headed!
The Commonwealth might be the perfect missing piece in the Landscape Collection, seamlessly bridging the gap between the Passport and the Alchemist. Coming in as the only full camber board in the lineup, this new freeride directional machine delivers powerful response and edge hold for riders who want to charge.
We’re stoked to see K2 drop a brand-new all-mountain board made just for beginners. The Chloro is a directional twin with a mellow flex and Catch-Free edges—perfect for building confidence and smooth, steady progression. Time to rally the crew who haven’t hit the slopes yet and get them riding.
With a sleek black design that proves 'less is more,' Lib Tech drops the new dPr Snowboard—an easy-riding, resort-ready ripper built for maximum fun and accessibility. Borrowing geometry, shapes, and profile inspiration from the Double Dip, the dPr is all about making the most of your local hill. Its early-rise nose and mellow camber create a perfect freestyle feel that’s playful, poppy, and surprisingly versatile.
Lib Tech is dropping three new boards in their experiMENTAL lineup this season, and we couldn’t be more hyped. The MC Wayfinder III is a bold evolution of the Wayfinder II, featuring a volume-shifted, do-it-all shape and a big, floaty nose for maximum versatility. The Sweet Fish—a collaboration between Austin Sweetin and Matt Biolos—is built for dreamy, 3D deep snow days, while the Son of Birdman is the ultimate complement to your freestyle twin (and might just replace it altogether). These boards are pure stoke machines—the real question is, which one are you grabbing this season?
Lib Tech is celebrating 30 years of iconic artwork by Mike Parillo, and this year’s collection is nothing short of legendary. We're especially loving the Dynamo and Dynasword designs—Parillo’s moody, powerful visuals draw inspiration from dark, imposing mountains and a deep respect for Mother Nature’s raw energy and hidden wonders. To top it off, the Bent Metal collab delivers matching bindings that tie the whole look together. It’s a perfect fusion of art, performance, and mountain magic.
It’s hard to believe Lib Tech is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the legendary T. Rice Pro Snowboard—a true icon in the snowboarding world. This year’s edition features a newly updated twin shape and an incredible art collaboration involving over 13 artists, making it a visual and performance masterpiece. Loved for its versatility and trusted by riders pushing the limits, the T. Rice Pro remains the ultimate daily driver. We’re beyond stoked to see it evolve and continue inspiring the next generation of shredders.
Introducing the LT Supermatic—an all-new model with a stiffer, more streamlined highback and a low-mass strap system that levels up from the original. Built for serious performance, these bindings are already generating major buzz. They're stiff, ultra-responsive, and fully ready to rip.
We’re stoked on these top-tier boots coming out that feature Nidecker’s new Dual BOA Wrap Strap system for unmatched support and even pressure distribution. The upper zone and built-in power strap are dialed in with a BOA H4, while a separate low-profile dial locks in the forefoot for a precise, customizable fit.
The women’s version of the Alternator is finally here, co-developed by Hailey Langland and destined for greatness on the Natural Selection Tour. This board pairs full camber with slight taper and a setback stance, perfect for freestyle riders taking their moves from the resort to more natural terrain.
The Stiletto is part of Nitro’s all new Guest Shaper Series. Every year Nitro will invite one legendary pro rider to design a limited edition board to be sold for only one season. The Stiletto is the first entry, a tribute to Nitro’s first ever swallowtail board, the Retro. With a wider swallowtail shape, this board is a powder-hungry soul surfer. Catch it while you can!
New, new, new—these bindings scream innovation. Ride is dropping an all-new binding for both men and women, now lighter than ever before. Featuring an asymmetrical freestyle highback and an aluminum chassis with negligible flex change in different temps and an incredible strength-to-weight ratio, these are packed with performance.
YES. is leveling up a fan favorite with the release of the all-new Greats XTRM—a next-gen evolution of the beloved Greats snowboard. The iconic asym shape remains, but now it’s paired with YES.’s lightest core to date and boosted with integrated carbon fiber for maximum pop, control, and energy transfer. This board is built to push boundaries and we can’t wait to see what gets thrown down on the XTRM!
Frenzy: “A state of wild excitement, intense energy, or even chaos.” The Hello is out—and the Frenzy is in! This women's board shares the same trusted outline as the iconic, well-loved Hel Yes, but with a slightly softer flex to support freeride progression. We’re hyped on the bold, bright, retro-inspired topsheet by Helena Hesselink—perfectly matched to a board that’s as playful as it is powerful. A new fan favorite? Absolutely.
