In the late 1980s and early 1990s, when snowboarding was booming all over the world, Kemper Snowboard attracted attention as a unique brand following big brands such as Burton and Sims.Speaking of neon color boards, Kemper is fascinated by such unique graphics, and fans are growing all over the world.
Started as a garage brand in Ontario, Canada by founder David Kemper, the brand gained momentum and moved production to Austria and began its path to becoming a big company.
Numerous professional riders, including Mike Basic, Tina Basic, Joe Curtis, Tom Bert, Dave Daud and Andy Hetchell, have brought the appeal of Kemper snowboarding to the world.However, when founder David left the brand, the company was sold and stopped a few years later.
However, in 2018, Kemper was revived by former professional rider Jib Hunt.The brand has been reborn based in Park City, Utah.
The brand is now beginning to attract attention again.While reprinting that nostalgic neon color graphic, the shape is the latest model.It is said that the reprinted version of Kemper is now beginning to attract attention, mainly from professional shop owners and veteran snowboarders who miss the time.
And even in Japan, it is a hot topic at stores this season.
Currently, the team is growing with the addition of Kevin Jones, Seth Hill, etc. in addition to Kurt Hae-in, who was also a former rider.
The lineup includes a nose and tail, a rocker at the center, a RAMPAGE line for jib parks that uses PARK CAMBER with camber at the feet, a FREESTYLE line with normal camber specifications, and a gentle rocker at the nose called flat + easy rise. APEX line for powder & surf ride, FLIGHT for all-round directional shape of rocker camber, SCREMER, FANTOM, AGGRESSOR for all-mountain of camber + easy rise, and RAMPAGE SPRIT of split board to meet various needs. A variety of shapes are available.
Furthermore, 80% of all of these boards are reprinted graphics until the beginning of 90, so that is a place that is intriguing. APEX is super cool because the Alpine style board we're talking about now has a powder and surf ride shape.
If you think "Oh, it's dangerous", go to the shop immediately.This season, the number of arrivals is small and the first one wins.There are rumors that the already sensitive old men are jumping.
