2012
Welcome to the 2012 Artec Collection. For the creative process, a diversity of methodology and components is essential for creating the most dynamic possible composition. This philosophy defines our approach to developing Artec as a progressive freestyle program. Though our goal is singular, to create the most advanced freestyle snowboarding equipment on the planet, our approach is multilateral. It starts with the fusion of two primary manifestations of human endeavor, art and technology. Through this combination of these contrasting creative elements we create a context by which they are both amplified and there strength is magnified. We call the resulting dynamic which guides our creative impulse - Artec. The same approach is taken with our team. Instead of superficial commonality we look for diversity and search for that spark of individuality that excites us to work with a rider. It has nothing to do with podiums or cover shots, it is something harder to quantify, but all it takes is watching the way any member of our crew rides for us to know it is real. Our riders are the outcasts, the rejects and the weirdos who are creatively pushing snowboarding into new frontiers of terrain and performance. Their connection to one another stems from something deeper, respect for each other and love of snowboarding. Making products that deliver the performance our team needs to push their riding in creative new directions is a source of great inspiration for us. To effectively provide riders everywhere with high performance freestyle equipment a multilateral approach again works to Artec’s advantage. The 2012 Artec collection features a diverse group of products that deliver excellent freestyle focused performance and lasting durability. From the hyper technical PopRocker to the versatile Novus, we’ve got every bit of terrain and condition out there covered. And our boards, though focused on providing advanced performance for high tech freestyle shredding, tend to have a forgiving easy riding on-snow feel, that seems to work great for riders of all ability levels. Artec is high performance snowboarding for everyone.
