The Gril Master

About a week before Marko Grilc, aka Grilo, passed, he came to the table with an idea for a board that could cover the full spectrum of riding with the family. He dreamt of a deck that was mellow enough for turns with the kiddos but could also kick it into high gear when he wanted a rad dad lap. The result: The Gril Master, a testament to our dear friend, Marko Grilc.

What to expect: If the Gril Master were a car, it’d be a minivan with a Hemi engine. This directional camber all-mountain board puts a capital F in family fun. It’s the perfect board for a full day of riding with the kids or taking a breather and finding some solo side hits. This legacy board immortalizes Grilo’s love of riding, family, and exploring the mountains. Grilo Forever.

The Short Stop

Don’t let the tail length fool you. The Short Stop stands out as an unconventional powder board designed for a nimble and quick surf-inspired riding style. It deviates from the norm by being both short and wide, boasting a stiffer and more responsive profile compared to the Pow Wrench. (Picture a perfect fusion of the Skipjack and Panhandler).

What to Expect: The Short Stop delivers a well-balanced feel from tip to tail, offering quick and agile performance, especially in tight conditions that lead to fresh powder. This semi-tailless shape has a relatively long running length in comparison to its overall length. To achieve a harmonious ride with this tailless shape, the stance is centered on the running length—a feature rarely seen in such a directional board.
