Surfing on the snow was an idea that had not yet been proven when Skull Skates first began producing their Crystal Ocean snowboards in the winter of 1983. Through 15 years of innovation Skull Skates produced some of the world’s best snowboards, always pushing design forward and always produced in small quantities.
The snowboard industry was ripe for change when Max Jenke and Scott Serfas founded Endeavor Snowboard Design in Vancouver, Canada in 2002. Through the use of their own archetype snowboard lab to design and prototype new ideas along with input from some of the world’s best riders, Endeavor has created leading edge technology in snowboarding.
Had Skull Skates continued to produce snowboards, 2013 would be Crystal Ocean’s 30th anniversary. It’s appropriate then that Endeavor Snowboard Design is collaborating with Skull Skates / Crystal Ocean to offer 3 limited edition snowboards combining a re-release Skull graphic from 1990 with up to the minute Endeavor design technology for the 2013/14 season.
In recognition of the new partnership release, Skull and Endeavor will be presenting a launch party on Friday, October 18th from 5pm until 9pm at PD’s Hot Shop 3734 W. 10th Ave near Alma Street in Vancouver.
Get a first look at the new boards and view a special display of vintage snowboards and memorabilia starting from the 70s forward. DJ Kilocee will be spinning records and stories will be told. For more information call 604-739-7796.
