NL/ENWhat does it take to make
a world-class snowboard?

The People
For decades, the Austrian Alps have been the birthplace of some of the most exceptional products in snowboarding.
Perhaps it's the influence of the stunning green valleys and majestic mountain ranges that surround us, but Austria has earned a reputation for manufacturing globally sought-after premier products while emphasizing a harmonious work-life balance.

Materials
Thoughtfully selected. Locally sourced.
Every snowboard’s recipe of materials is different, and we meticulously select only the best raw materials for each series we produce. Our localized supply chain allows us to collaborate with suppliers offering innovative, high-performing, and sustainable materials.

Core Milling
The heart of your snowboard.
Wood cores are the heart of your snowboard. This crucial component defines the key characteristics of a board and serves as the primary foundation for its construction. With utmost care, we choose the finest and highest-performing species of wood for our cores. In-house 5-axis CNC milling ensures precision, and each core is then meticulously hand-inspected by our carpenters to achieve perfection.

Pressing
By the most experienced crafters.
At The MotherShip™, the renowned tradition of snowboard manufacturing in the Austrian Alps runs deep. Our craftsmen meticulously press each board with a bespoke, computer-controlled, recipe of ingredients to deliver an optimal ride experience. Freshly pressed boards undergo hand inspection before moving on to the grinding and finishing stages.
