We are excited to share that artist Mark Kowalchuk has designed Walsh graphics this season. Mark has worked within the board industry for years. We are lucky to be working with such a high caliber artist.
Based in Calgary, Alberta, Mark Kowalchuk is a Canadian illustrator and graphic artist. His roots lie in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

TECHNOLOGY
TOP SHEET (1): Glossy PBT. We do not add toxic lacquer for these boards
TOP FIBREGLASS (2): Biaxial fibreglass
INSERTS (3): Stainless Steel
SIDEWALL (4): We use state of the are Urethane that runs the whole perimeter of the wood core for a perfect bond. Urethane is extremely damp and makes for a better overall ride
EPOXY RESINS (5): We use a specially formulated two part epoxy resin system to bond all of the materials in a snowboard
WOODCORE (6): Full length Poplar wood core
CARBON BEAMS (7): We added 2 beams to help with strength while adding tail pop
BOTTOM FIBREGLASS (8): Biaxial fibreglass
RUBBER DAMPENING (9): Rubber foil between the edge and fibreglass helps with bonding. It also helps with overall board chattering.
EDGE (10): Rockwell 48
BASE MATERIAL (11): Sintered IS 7500. Super durable and fast base material. Sublimated artwork
WIDTH: Standard/Wide
CATEGORY: Freestyle, All Mountain, Freeride
PROFILE: Traditional Camber
CAMBER PROFILE
The Walsh Series comes with a traditional camber. The camber runs the full length of the contact. This helps the board have more control at high speeds while offering more pop.
NEGATIVE CORE PROFILE
The Walsh Series comes with a negative core profile. We remove some of the wood core between the bindings to help balance the flex from tip to tail. The board feels more playful and adds foot control on all terrain.
