At Elevated Surf Craft, we believe snowboarding should feel as fluid as surfing, and our quiver is designed with that mindset. Every board we create is rooted in surf-inspired design, with each shape honed over nearly a decade to suit a range of riding styles and conditions. From steep, powdery backcountry lines to cruising through low-angle trees, our snowboards promise to deliver. Here's a a breakdown of our quiver and the innovative materials that make them special.

Our boards aren’t just about shape—they’re about performance and sustainability. Our innovativepolyurethane sidewalls, for instance, provide a dampening effect that enhances edge control on hard pack, while also reducing the need for plastic. These sidewalls act as a shock absorber, smoothing out the ride while allowing for a more flexible and durable board. Additionally, thefull-wrap construction around the edges helps protect the core and maintain a continuous flex pattern, ensuring the board rides consistently in all conditions.Read more about the manufacturing process or our snowsurf board here.
