The Story

Loud graphics, bright colors, and a healthy disregard for subtlety, that was Kemper in the early '90s.

This vintage Kemper snowboard is a perfect example of the era, featuring its vibrant blue topsheet, oversized patriotic-inspired "F" graphic, and classic Kemper logo. It's the kind of board that takes you right back to the days when snowboarders were carving groomers in neon jackets and blasting punk rock from the parking lot.

Founded in 1987 by former professional snowboarder Jake Burton... just kidding—that's the other guy. Kemper was actually founded by David Kemper, one of snowboarding's early pioneers, and quickly became one of the sport's most recognizable brands. Their bold graphics and rider-first attitude helped define snowboarding's rebellious roots.

This board eventually found its way into a custom LED neon commission for a family with the last name Freeze. With the giant "F" already built into the design, it felt like the board had been waiting over 30 years to find its perfect match.
