420 POWDERHULL

420 PH. HOW TO RIDE POWDER WITHOUT BACK LEG BURN. The narrower outline of the 420 with PH allows such extreme versatility - a wide range of riders can be comfortable on this one length. Refined waist width and sidecut make it more responsive than the 420, while longer effective edge gets a little more bite into the hardpack. And the PowderHull makes it impossible to sink the nose.

• Art by : Mark Kowalchuk. Lately I've been really into sci-fi and fantasy art I feel the ideas of infinite realities and what could lie beyond our comprehension very interesting. I've been really looking at a lot of 70s retro sci fi art and watching a lot of space movies lately. I find that sci-fi is an amazing genre for an artist to really dig deep into their imagination and challenge them to come up with concepts that haven't really been portrayed yet. For these boards I tried to link all 3 graphics : trees, air and space by a gateway/portal between them. For creating these graphics i start with some rough sketches and doodles and figure out the layouts and general idea behind each one. Then I'll redraw each one a bit better and at full size. Once the drawing is sketched in I trace my own artwork to clean up the linework and scan it. Once on the computer I move the elements around and digitally colour it. The last step is just setting the artwork into the template shape ready for production.
