02 — Born in the French Alps

Born in the
French Alps.

Borealis started in 2013 in the Alps. Its founder, Ben Hall, is a British-French rider who grew up between Geneva and the Mont Blanc region. Decades of mountain experience and constant rider feedback shape every board, each one designed for a particular riding style.

03 — Our standard

There are many levels of quality in a snowboard.We only chase the highest.

04 — The shapers

Shaped by
Master Shapers.

Our Master Shapers have countless days on snow and know exactly what makes a board perform. That experience is what you feel underfoot.

Most of our boards are built at GP87, the factory of Dan Agundes: master shaper, snowboard guru and, in my view, the best snowboard maker in the world. They come with a 4-year warranty*.

*Discovery line: built at our partner factory, 3-year warranty.
05 — The community

Ride with us.

Since 2013, riders have taken more than 3,000 public test rides on Borealis boards, at demo days and snow shows.

06 — Inspired by nature

Protecting nature
since 2013.

We build with natural and recycled materials, because a brand should be part of the answer to climate change.

07 — Our vision

Ride more.
Leave less.

I want to create striking, distinctive snowboards and bring fun to riders everywhere. From day one we have put sustainable materials first, because a brand should be part of the answer to climate change. Above all, I hope you have unforgettable days on our boards.
