As with life, we are constantly looking at our past to help drive innovation for the future. Modern materials and technology have provided new opportunities to try old ideas and shapes to take us forward to the next step in surfing the snow and chasing powder waves.


Our first year of board production was as Radical Airlines back in 1991-92 with boards manufactured and built in Austria that were cutting edge at the time. One of the models for that year was a great all mountain freeride board that paid tribute to searching for waves and literally means \u201ca path to the sea\u201d in Hawaiian.


Fabian and I are extremely happy to introduce the new Ala Moana 156 and 166 as a next level shape full of heritage and soul that represents both the past and future of Rad-Air Snowboards.

Ride on and Mahalo,

Our vision and inspiration is focused on providing high performance, lightweight and easy to ride longboards that enable riders to enjoy all aspects of snowboarding and embrace the fact that the winner, at the end of any day on the mountain, is the rider with the biggest smile on their face!<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Style is such an individual element and to define it is almost impossible. That difficult description also applies when defining the intended use of our shapes. Individual variables like riders weight, level of riding experience, desired riding terrain, all factor in to what board will suit your riding style. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have seen big aggressive riders having a blast on the 171, the shortest board in the lineup, as well as master class riders below 70 kg ripping soul turns on the 201.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your board choice becomes more a combination of your riding skills and your favorite terrain & snow conditions. But most importantly \u2013 forget the mass market industry approach of choosing your board size by holding it to your nose and thats how long it has to be.

You are a longboarder
Go big or bigger!<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

YEEEAH PAUL !<\/strong>
Here\u2019s to celebrating decades of friendship. Through thick and thin. Success and Failure. Design and Innovation. Through all the peaks and valleys, you and I have ventured. We, together, have come along way. 

You are my friend, my inspiration, and my colleague. 

Paul, here is to many more long years of riding long boards, surfing no boards, and waxing surfboards. 

And as co-founders of the Woodstock of Snowboarding movement, I salute you.

Ride on.
