“My dream board for dream lines has finally come to life!” - Nick Russell

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.
