Franco Snowshapes Custom Snowboards
Though it is, in fact, summer here in the northern hemisphere, the other half of the planet is in the dead of winter. Which means that fresh powder is just a quick flight away – so it’s never a bad time to think about picking up some new snowboarding gear. Like, for instance, Franco Snowshapes’ custom snowboards.
These aren’t your ordinary boards, though – not by a long shot. These ones are handmade and tailored specifically to your desires by owner-operator Mikey Franco himself. But it goes even deeper than that. You see, if you’re not entirely sure what you want, the brand offers a “Rider Genome Profile” that takes into account your riding style, biometrics, and environment to create the perfect board for you. Not good enough? Well, there’s a third option: you can actually hit the slopes for two day with Mikey Franco – who has 20+ years of guiding experience – and he will personally evaluate your riding before picking out a specific shape and materials for your board, which you will then get to take out for another two days in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Franco Snowshapes’ offerings start at $1,699.
