One month in our cocoon, having welcomed Vela Usha Bhise Gilson into the world! Vela, pronounced VAY-la, meaning shore/tide or time in Sanskrit, arrived 3 weeks early at 4 lbs 4 oz, a small but mighty peanut 🥜💕 

Vela is also named after a character from the VAYU purana (an ancient Hindu text) and her grandmother, Usha, which means dawn 🌅

After a week in the NICU she has been settling into a chaotic life with a dog and toddler… we regularly forget where we left her but she doesn’t seem to mind! Vayu and Otis are exceeding expectations in being the best big brothers, and so far she is as chill and easy going as second children are often promised to be. Happy, sleepy, full of love!! by @nicholasgilson

THICC BOI REVIEW — Honest Thoughts From a Biased Rider 🏔️🏂

I’m honestly surprised. Biased, and still surprised.

I took the Thicc Boi out at Big Sky on runs it had no business being on. Absolute ice sheets, variable conditions, some patches of fun stuff. That’s the best way to test a board. Dreamy powder is fun no matter what. You want to put it through the paces.

Here’s what I found:

At 148cm, the board is short, so it’s incredibly agile. But because it’s a Triple-wide, you get all that surface area back. It feels floaty, supportive, and stable in a way a bigger person wouldn’t expect from a 148.

First time I’ve gone back to our team after testing and said: absolutely no notes. Zero. Kinda cheating though because it’s built on the Duel platform. The Flat-to-Rocker profile people already love, same flex pattern, and one centimeter shorter than the 149cm, and a whole lot wider. This thing can carve like crazy.

For reference, I’m 5’11”, just over 200 lbs, size 10 boot. The Thicc Boi is a Triple-wide, but so much shorter so you can really throw it around. Rides like a super agile shortboard surfboard, and zero problem getting to edge.

This is NOT a quiver killer. Exact opposite. It’s a fun, surfy addition to the quiver. Even a couple inches of fresh feels insane with that surface area. Tons of float from the Flat-to-Rocker profile while being agile in tight trees and in the park.

We designed this for shorter riders carrying more weight who need float but don’t need a 160+ cm board. It works for that body type, but it also has a huge range. Christian Maas, who’s 6’7”, rode it on the GILSON Getaway and loved it. Way more versatile than expected.

Tons of artwork options. Stoked the Thicc Boi is hitting the Mountain. Keeping one in my quiver. One of the most surfy, playful boards we’ve made. 🤙

Fresh out of production and heading out the door to ➡️ Zach 🙌  

Meet the 2026 Bounty Hunter — our Full Camber Twin built to charge. This board is designed as a true all-mountain cruiser: big mountain lines, steep and deep days, wide-open groomers, and floating powder runs. It can hang in the park for a lap or two, but the Bounty Hunter feels most at home when you’re opening it up and drawing bold lines across the mountain.

Every rider gets to choose their style:
⚡️ Flat Base – technical, precise, aggressive edge-to-edge.
🌊 3D Base – surfy, playful, and smooth transitions with extra forgiveness.

Zach went with the 3D Edge configuration — the looser, surf-inspired option that makes turns feel like a glassy day on the ocean. Both ride beautifully; it just depends on how you want to approach the mountain.

Topped off with artwork from R. Palmer, this year’s Bounty Hunter looks as sharp as it rides. Zach, thanks for the support — enjoy your winter out there. ⛰️🏂

From 1) a couple of kids teaching science in Nashville (still can’t believe they let us be teachers) 🤓🔬 to 2) growing perhaps the most community-centric snowboard & ski brand in America 🇺🇸🏂⛷️ to 3) seeing our gear being ridden around the world 🌎 - it’s all because of this rad crew of snowboarders and skiers choosing something new for their gear 🙏

We’ll stay busy in the factory and lab 👷🔨 iterating and listening to this community.  We’ll continue to work with the raddest artists around 🎨👩‍🎨 and, of course, pay them fairly (…wish that one wasn’t a difference maker). 

Drop us a line, stop on in, or shoot us a message— we’d be pumped to answer your questions (and hopefully build your next ride🤘)
