Thanks for all the hard work through out the years Jeremy. Ive been riding Grassroots boards for over a decade, it changed my life haha!! Its well described in this video, on a powsurfer you are at the mercy of so many more things related to the nature of what we we're doing out there in the mountains; the fall line, the conditions of the snow, your own talent. It demands true focus, quiets your mind and invites a deep flow state. Meditation. Purest form of mountain riding indeed. Lets get some Teton pow this winter!!!
You nailed it Aiden. Thanks for the kind words! It's a pleasure to see how much stoke powsurfing brings people like yourself. Can't wait to get back to the Tetons! Keep your eyes peeled and if you follow the powsurf instagram I'll usually make it obvious when myself and the crew make it up there. My goal is always 3 visits minimum. Love that zone.
WELL DONE SIR!!!…MUCH respect from a Greek 47 yrs old snowboarder dad who will definitely ride one of your boards with pride one day because it’s got SOUL AND LOVE in it!!…GOD BLESS YOU MAN!!!
Thanks Nick! I'm glad you enjoyed the film. Most certainly a product of passion fueled by our love for the soul of snowboarding! Thanks for watching and for the kind words.
Love it. I snurfed all winter long, from the 60s until sometime in the 80s. We tried to build snowboards, with bindings, but we couldn't make them work. I'm glad someone did. Made my dreams of Olympic fame come true...for someone! In '78, I took my board to a local ski resort. Bought a lift ticket, got on the chairlift, getting really weird looks from people, and on the way down, heard this really strange sound. Took me a minute to realize that it was people on the chairlift...cheering! I feel pretty good about that. Eventually, the manager booted me, but...I had a great time. Powdersurfing is next level, and I think it looks really amazing. Have fun ya'll!!!
Man, I wish I had discovered this a year ago. I was searching for a bindingless board for small mountain pow as I was stuck in New Hampshire winter, these would have been perfect. Thanks for creating these and for a great video.
Thanks for the good vibes Mark! Powsurfing definitely transforms small terrain into big terrain and you can really milk a ton of fun out of unsuspecting and overlooked zones. It's a whole new world of fun in mountains both big and small.
Yes! Wow! This movie gives huge energy shot and same enthiusiasm type of feeling when 30 years ago I started all this skate&snow mess...this is next level or rather going inside the flooow! Congratulations!
Thanks Piotr! That's what we were shooting for :) Powsurfing makes us all feel young again and takes us back to our roots and our earliest days skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding, Best feelings on earth!
Super inspiring!!! You guys are really breaking new ground. It’s clear hard work has finally started to reward! Keep it up! I’m in northern Ontario Canada, I absolutely love what you guys are doing!!
This a great motivaton fr. I get my first pow surfer for Christmas this year along with two friends that get the same. We just watched this film and couldn’t be more stoked!! Props from Austria🤙🤙
I just sent my Son one of your boards for Christmas, he is sooo happy and of course that makes Mom happy. I’m planning to watch the documentary about the Powboard tonight to see what it’s all about . Meanwhile, my Son is loving life in Truckee, CA. Merry Christmas .
Thanks so much for the support! ..and for being a great parent. You're son is lucky to have you. Having a powsurfer in the quiver makes life even more fulfilling and fun. Enjoy the film!
So sick!! Building one of these boards has become a recent hyperfixation of mine, so I’m gonna try to slap one together in about a week before I have to head back up to school in Duluth. I’ll be order some grip tape from y’all for it! This was an awesome watch, and it got me even more stoked to get surfin!!
The powder surfing sect is so cool, homemade boards, crazy shapes that are only wood? Ive always wanted to try but there is 0 powder surf scene around me.
We can sell you the best powsurfers but it's up to you to find the goods! Try high up in the mountains, Utah, Wyoming, British Columbia and Hokkaido are some good places to start looking. 🙂
First off, Powsurfing doesn't involve any ropes and any use of your hands while riding. It is surfing on snow as you would surf the ocean. Binging free, handsfree. Nobody surfs with a rope on the nose of their surfboard or skateboard. Snurfing is what you must be trying to refer to and that is what they called it in the 70's and 80's as you saw in the film if you would have watched it. But boards of that style (rope on the nose) go back much further in history than the 70s or 80's. They go back to the early 30's in the US with the "bunker board" and hundreds of years before that in Turkish villages. It likely goes back farther than that before documented history. What we do in this film is called powsurfing and the boards we make to do this are called powsurfers.
I' wonder if there's a way to popshuv without the burden of having a leash attached. Maybe it could attach to the board in an area that could fully rotate on the y axis. I imagine it could attach in the center of the board to a circular piece. ...kickflips??
If you run the right type of leash (Grassroots Retractable Leash) and you are riding our boards (properly placed leash attachment) you can shuvit and 360 shuvit without the leash hindering it. I do kickflips all the time with that leash on as well without issue. It simply wraps around the board in the air as it flips, I land and it slides out the back of the board. Doesn't tie a not, doesn't stop the flow. It just works.
Thanks! Yukiita is not quite decades.. around 15 years. We know the founders of the yukiita movement in Japan and a couple of them are in this film.. It's been going on since 2007, the same year we produced our first handcrafted/hand painted boards. :)
@@bspring6416 I'd love to see the doc. Please send a link if you track it down. I'm pretty well versed in snowboard history and binding-free riding history and that's news to me! Perhaps you are thinking of Shinzo (Moss Snowboards)?? They called what they were doing "snowsurfing" in the mid 80s in Japan but they were using bindings and it was considered their "style" of snowboarding. Derived from the work of Shinzo in Japan and Dmitrije Milovich (founder of the original winterstick snowboard company).
You need soft snow.. it can be heavy snow, wet snow, or dry snow and you need at least a few inches depending on the steepness of slope you are riding. some of our boards will handle slush and shallow powder quite well.. this is relative to your boot size and weight. Hit us up via email if you need help choosing the best board for you. Just like you need waves to surf the ocean, you need soft snow to surf powder!
@@doogoo3844 We've played a lot with fins and such in the past 15 years and they can help in some conditions.. but hinder in others. It's a possibility we may touch on a little down the road.. many other good ideas for the future as well :)
Rope is no good! Holding a rope causes bad form of the upper body and takes away focus from proper turning of the board using your feet and your balance. We ride mountains the same as a surfer surfs the waves or skateboarders surf the concrete. Hands free and binding free. Surfers and skateboarders never rode with a rope in their hand and neither do we! We use a leash attached at the waist to prevent runaway boards :)

So much fun and the best feels you can get on snow. A tribute to the true roots and the soul off modern day snowboarding.
Thanks for paving the way man, means a lot!
Ooof. Dude I would so love for someone with your passion and effort to come up with a bindingless option for hitting the resorts too. Love it.
Inspiring and beautiful documentary, thank you for sharing it, I hope the company's passion continues to grow today.
Watched this for the third or fourth time last night (thanks for sharing it here on UA-cam). Watched it this time with my 6 year old. Good times.
Awesome! So glad you are enjoying White Waves. And good times with the kiddo too. Start em young!
"we were communicating through pure stoke" best line of the movie IMHO.

Best feels you can experience on snow!
Good to see there is still some soul in this world 👍

I'll watch it all tonight!
Awesome boards.
Super inspiring!!! You guys are really breaking new ground. It’s clear hard work has finally started to reward! Keep it up!

Cheers Ben!

you can proud of you !!

Binding companies hate this.

Powsurfing has been around since the 80s probably earlier the first snowboards had no bindings and a rope on the front to help keep the nose up.

Love your work. Yukita’s in Japan is a long time grassroots scene that’s been going on for decades!! Not just recently. I’m sure u know this tho.

Stoke!
Do you have to have powder to powdersurf?
You need soft snow.. it can be heavy snow, wet snow, or dry snow and you need at least a few inches depending on the steepness of slope you are riding. some of our boards will handle slush and shallow powder quite well.. this is relative to your boot size and weight. Hit us up via email if you need help choosing the best board for you. Just like you need waves to surf the ocean, you need soft snow to surf powder!
@@Powsurf Perhaps using metal in the makeup of the board wood overcome any snow quality issues. I look forward to any new innovation.
