Snowsurf Snowboards are unique snowboards designed to emulate the feeling of surfing on snow. They focus on flow, carve, and natural body movement, inspired by surfboard shapes and dynamics. Learn about the difference between snowsurfing and snowboarding here.
Yes- it is designed and constructed to be ridden on resort with traditional bindings—- but it is also so much more— this is a tool for a specific job; unlike to standard “all mountain twin” - these shapes are designed to excel in powder float and maneuverability and with multi-sidecuts to emulate surfboard fin configurations which provide a variety of turn shapes while carving. If your looking for utility get a snowboard- but if you're looking for an artistic expression explore the snow surf quiver.
These boards are distinguished by their surfboard-like shapes, wider noses, set back stance and shorter tails. They are designed for excellent float in powder and quick maneuverability, providing a smooth, flowing riding experience that mimics surfing.

Every rider is different, but for this style of riding we recommend a medium to soft flex binding like Ride A4s. But if you're over 40 the Nidecker Supermatics are quickly becoming a favorite to avoid the bend over or sit down.
Posi Posi! For directional boards, you can do a stance with both feet facing forward like a surf stance. We recommend starting at +30, +3 and adjusting as needed after a couple runs.
Elevated Surf Craft started in 2014 in Montana in search of the perfect powder board. Through experimentation with different shapes and designs, Aaron developed boards that offer more nose for floatation and less tail for maneuverability, inspired by old Sims and Winter Stick designs.
Key features include a full length poplar and Polonia wood core for continuous flex, polyurethane sidewalls for dampening, camber between the feet with early rise in the nose and tail, and an excessive waist width to prevent toe and heel drag.
Yes, they are suitable for riders of all levels, from beginners to experts. The boards are designed to help riders interpret terrain in a more fluid and dynamic way, rather than just going straight down the fall line.
These boards excel in powder and groomed conditions. They provide excellent floatation in powder and can carve effectively on groomers, allowing for a versatile riding experience that works well in various snow conditions.
You can purchase Snowsurf Snowboards through the official Elevated Surf Craft website and select specialty snowboard shops. Availability may vary based on location and season.
Elevated Surf Craft may offer customization options, including graphics and specific design tweaks. It’s best to check directly with the company for available customization services.
Snowsurf Snowboards come in various sizes to accommodate different rider weights and preferences. The size range ensures that riders can find a board that suits their specific needs and enhances their riding experience.
Proper maintenance includes regular waxing to keep the base fast and smooth, edge sharpening, and inspecting the board for any damage after each ride. Storing the board in a cool, dry place during the off-season is also recommended.
Our boards are sharpened from the factory to 88 degrees on the base to create a beveled roll from rail to rail without catch, as well as 88 degrees on the side to ensure the sharpest angle for maximum bite when tilted on rail for carving.
