Shepherd - Factory Blems
Lively | Precise | Nimble
“My dream board for dream lines has finally come to life!” - Nick Russell
Blems are largely due to cosmetic imperfections or subtle shaping processes which we evolved out of and thus downgraded prior versions to spotlight improvements. There is nothing wrong with the integrity of these boards and we back the warranty on these just as we would production grade snowboards. All current year blems are listed at a 10% discount below retail price based on the issue.
Explanations and/or photos of specific blemishes are available upon request. For any additional questions, do not hesitate to reach us via email to hello@wndr-alpine.com, live chat (left side of any page on the website) or by phone at 801.415.1815.
The Shepherd is your tool and spiritual guide for big mountain endeavors. Developed by Nick Russell, this board shares the same shape and dimensions as its split counterpart. Utilizing purpose-built biobased materials derived from microalgae oil to increase damping, stability and confidence while in the high alpine. Our Algal Core and Algal Wall allow this board to flow naturally through any mixed terrain that you may find. Its deep sidecut, taper, and directional camber enable responsive edge hold on steeper terrain, and maintain power and energy in deep snow. Set your line and let it ride with the Shepherd.
