Business was booming, once I figured out how to print in full-color on a material that could be incorporated into snowboard production.  We produced snowboards for twelve different companies with as many as ten designs each.

I'm not sure how it happened, but hundreds of our boards ended up as interior decorations for many Wahoo's Fish Tacos, here in Southern California.

Specific Duties:

  • Graphic Design
  • Large-Format Production Artwork
  • Develop Print Techniques
  • Create Color Separations
  • Supervise Production Quality
  • Darkroom Enlargements
  • Client Consultations

A large amount of research went into developing techniques for snowboard printing, which would withstand tremendous amounts of heat and pressure during the manufacturing process, and substantial abuse as finished products.  At the time, very few companies were even attempting to process print top-sheet graphics, because of the difficulty involved.

In the early 1990's, there were over 500 independent snowboard companies in California.
