MOVING FOREWORD

The Viper is a hard-charging, aggressive surf-style board, with a moon-shaped nose, twin-fin configuration, sharp rails and a bunch of concave. Designed by Sammy G alongside fellow world champ and Phase 5 teammate John Ackerman; these two worked to dial in a shape that fit Sammy's aggressive approach to riding. The moon-nose helps stabilize the board when riding revert while the exaggerated bottom concave paired with the sharp rails allows for exceptional speed when turning on rail. The fin boxes are higher up on the board which makes slashes and 360's feel like butter. It's stable where you need it to be, and breaks free when you want it to. In our opinion, the quality and feel of a Phase 5 board is unmatched and we couldn't be more stoked to have that paired with the design and preference of Sammy G.

We are constantly gathering inspiration from those outside our immediate bounds and working to tailor our selection to those who are in the field on a daily basis. This holiday season, we asked members of our own pro team to take a look at our Black Friday Sale and let us know what stood out to them the most–whether they're at school, on the mountain or in the water. Take a look at their selections, below.

JG has spent the last few decades (literally) shaping snowboarding. When he’s not doing that, he’s surfing whenever and wherever he can. A few years back he had the idea to bring those two worlds even closer together - a snowsurf made with the same high-end materials that are utilized in today’s high-performance surfboards. Designed in Vermont and crafted in Ventura, CA, his Shredeye boards are as much surfboards as they are binding-less snowboards–the water beneath them is just a bit colder than your typical east coast break. With that in mind, we figured it was best for him to sit down with another seasoned surfer to answer a few basic questions. Neon Wave Team Rider Nate Zoller sits down with JG to take a deep dive into his slabs of foam and what makes them some of the funnest planks on the hill.

We don't just sell the products that are in our store–we use them daily. For Q2, we asked some of our crew to let us know what pieces they find themselves grabbing for during the warmer months. Whether they're a part of their daily wears, essential for a trip out on the boat, great for local waves, or built for a trip from the west to the east–they pulled some of their favorite pieces and wrote a little bit about what makes them the best.

We don't just sell the products that are on our site–we use them daily. We asked some of our crew to let us know what pieces they find themselves grabbing most often. Whether they're a part of their daily wears, essential to a trip up the hill, great for local waves, or built for a trip from the west to the east–they pulled some of their favorite pieces and let us know why they're their favorite.

The idea of extending the life and application of our clothing has become more and more prevalent. Much to the credit of the makers, sewers, crafters, and textile workers who have carried on their traditions and foraged fresh ones of their own. Mario’s work, in tandem with the initial makers/designers, stands in opposition to the familiar push for more and more; purchase, wear, discard, repeat.

You have surely heard the term and practiced the act in the context of textiles. Something as simple as throwing a jacket over a tee or adding tights under your snowpants are good examples of how integral layering is in our day to day dress. Past that, why is it important and what is the point to building a solid layering system? Think of your layers as a micro-shelter. Your own personal eco-system that impacts how you experience temperature, moisture levels, and physical output in any given environment. At its core, an effective and appropriate layering system will help regulate temperature, keep you dry, provide full range of motion, and protect you from the elements; keeping you warm and comfortable. A good system means more fun and safety outdoors and more time connecting with what you love.
