2018/2019 CATALOG RIDER: TERRY KIDWELL PHOTO: TOM SIMS 1984
If you were to ask yourself why you snowboard today it’s likely because the first time you stepped on a board it changed your life. You can thank Tom Sims for that. Tom was a true pioneer with one simple goal, to create the worlds’ greatest snowboard brand. His extreme dedication and passion for snowboarding in turn created the snowboarder. Tom was admired and respected worldwide for being the Father of Snowboarding. It can only be Tom’s spirit that is responsible for the history we are creating today…hand-crafted boards made where the brand was born, right here in the USA. Born here, made here. Tom would be proud...you should be too.

Tom Sims Pro
Juice
Aggressive versatility is the result of a modern board made with old school intention. Tom Sims created the snowboarder and snowboarders created the Tom Sims Pro. This directional all mountain camber missile has twin sidecut and micro early rise. It doesn’t make a difference, 1976 or today, the definition of badass hasn’t changed.
Performance this serious demands attention - from the deep powder where you party to the park where you handle business. The true twin Juice is a mid-flex camber firecracker that puts confidence beneath your feet in any condition. Suited for high-speed maneuvers with a hint of forgiveness, you’ll wonder what got into you.
