Within the snowboard and toy industries, Burton and Kidrobot both represent innovative leaders in their respective fields. Over a year in the making, the Burton Kidrobot Custom Plus 158 snowboard was the product of numerous artist and designer collaborations.
The technical specs of the board are based off of the Burton Custom 158 cm board. With this blank canvas, Kidrobot founder, Paul Budnitz was given a chance to work his creative magic. The top graphic incorporates the iconic "Kidrobot head" graphic in all-over print manner while the underside graphic is a collage of some of Kidrobot's most popular characters such as the Dunny, Smorking Labbit and Icebot. A list of artists also made appearances on the graphics such as Paul Budnitz, Frank Kozik, Dalek, Tilt and Sket One among others.
The snowboard will be available in extremely limited quantities at Burton and Kidrobot flagship stores as well as select snowboard retailers. Be on the look out for more collaborative efforts in the future from these two giants.
