In 1992, Flux originated with the simple idea of fitting snowboard bindings to the feet of Japanese riders. This mission combined with world class Japanese engineering lead to the development of high quality products for snowboarders on a global scale. As Flux has worked with professional riders over the years, new creative ideas and technology has help guide the brand into 21 countries and to a true global presence. With the introduction of a new boot line in 2017, Flux plans to continue to push the level of what is possible with snowboard product technology well into the future.
