When Lucas Beaufort's pen starts flowing, there's literally no stopping it, like an endless skate lap through the park, every turn and transition has you amped to see where he’s going next!
I've been wanting to work with Lucas for years after seeing his artwork everywhere in the skateboard scene—decks, magazines, skate parks, huge murals. His wild abstract patterns play tricks on your brain. Your eye thinks it's seeing something familiar, like a hand or person, then it flips to completely abstract to keep you guessing and wanting to see more.
Lucas paints on anything and everything worldwide! Fank actually watched him paint in downtown Seattle, and said it was wild to see his work come together in person. The entire time Lucas was having conversations, sipping a Negroni, and his piece just evolved coming to life naturally.
As Lucas states, "I never sketch before, I just let my hand dance all around the world." He approaches art like skateboarding—pure energy, joy, and fearlessness. Dude just started painting at 27 and exploded onto the scene drawing on skateboard magazine covers!
What I love about this ski is the contrast. The top is all black with only the white line art, so it really looks sick against the snow. The base is the opposite, similar pattern but filled with vibrant colors, like bright camouflage which looks sick flying through the air! We named it "The Hyperactive" because it speaks to both the fun factor and Lucas's nature.
I'm only building 200 pairs of this Limited Edition graphic on "The Best Friend" ski, hand-signing and numbering each. Lucas has lots of fans around the world so these are going to sell out fast. Grab this fun piece of iconic artwork before they’re gone!

The widest ski in our Explore Collection looks different for a reason… It makes powder skiing easy!
We've engineered a revolutionary asymmetric ski shape that solves the age-old powder problem! The challenge with the traditional shape of powder skis is it causes your downhill ski to sink and your uphill ski to rise in deep snow. This separates your legs, making it hard to stay in control and tiring you out waaay more than necessary. To solve this problem, we added surface area where you need extra float and removed it where you don't. The result is a pair of skis that float naturally on the same plane, helping your legs stay closer together effortlessly. It feels more like riding a single surfboard than two individual skis. This means you can ski deep snow with more confidence while using less energy, letting the skis use the natural mechanics of powder snow to do the hard work for you! No more sitting back to keep your tips up, no more backseat landings, face plants, tomahawks, or yard sales. Even on the deepest days you can ski in your natural stance, floating and turning with ease, without straining to stay in control. The unique, asymmetric shape is only on the tip and tail of the ski and will have no effect on the ski’s firm snow performance. You get the benefits of traditional sidecut and camber when charging hard on firm and chopped up conditions, combined with powder specific geometry that does all the work for you on the deepest days. This is your new Best Friend on pow days, surf’s up!
