Fifteen years in skate. Ten years in snow. In honoring DC's heritage, a master plan to celebrate the connection between the two was born: transfer the aesthetic of grip tape art, a powerful piece of skate history, onto the snowboard line. Grip decoration was a creative outlet for early skaters, and the phenomenon was widespread. Paint-pen appliques were prevalent throughout the '80s and early '90s as pros adorned their boards with unique personalization. It was DC Co-founder Ken Block, who knew just the artist to authenticate such an undertaking- Andy Howell.
