We built the ARK

This board was designed by former US Open Halfpipe Champion and two-time LBS Pro Masters champion Rob Kingwill to be a true quiver killer.

The ARK pushes into new realms of possibility, making it easy to ride anywhere — from the steepest big mountain lines to competition halfpipes.

The ARK’s directional twin shape has an early-rise in the nose and tail, along with a super poppy camber profile, making it carve like a samurai sword in virtually all conditions.

Camber Profile

The ARK has an early-rise in the nose for smooth lift in powder and is designed with a modified twin shape for riding regular or fakie to satisfy your freestyle cravings.
