Brand Tone

Authentic & Passionate, Friendly & Welcoming, Knowledgeable & Expert, Community-Oriented, Enthusiastic & Energetic

Brand Values

• •Community First: Explicitly stated as "Community > Profits," this is a core tenet, demonstrated through hosting events and fostering a local scene.
• •Passion for the Ride: Being "snowboarder owned and operated" and "dedicated to shred" underpins their operations and product choices.
• •Exceptional Customer Experience: A commitment to "excellent customer service," a fun shopping experience, and making customers "happy."
• •Quality and Expertise: Offering "superior snowboard gear" and leveraging deep industry knowledge to guide customers.
• •Authenticity: Staying true to "snowboarding roots" and operating with genuine passion.
• •Inclusivity: Ensuring all "athletes of any level can find the right gear without feeling excluded."
• •Supporting Local: Encouraging and practicing support for local businesses and the community.

Best Practices

• •Speak Authentically: Use genuine, passionate language that reflects a true love for snowboarding and skateboarding. Avoid overly corporate or generic phrasing. "Live the lifestyle" should come through.
• •Prioritize Community: Regularly include messaging that fosters a sense of belonging and highlights community events, local riders, or partnerships. Emphasize inclusivity.
• •Be Approachable and Friendly: Write in a welcoming, conversational style. Imagine you're talking to a friend in the shop. Use "we" and "us" to connect with the audience.
• •Showcase Expertise Naturally: Weave in knowledgeable advice and product insights without being condescending. Focus on helping customers make informed choices that enhance their experience.
• •Maintain an Enthusiastic Vibe: Let the excitement for the sports shine through. Use positive language, action verbs, and (where appropriate, like social media) relevant emojis to convey energy and passion.
