Lane Knaack Ninthward?

I was watching the teaser for Chronciles of gnarlia and I saw Lane Knaack riding a white blank deck board with a '9' printed on it. I did a little research and found out its a company called Ninthward. I was wondering If anyone knows anything about them or if they're carried on any online shops? I know their boards are true twin tips, all of them. thats about all i know

yea im not sure about the boards, but i enjoyed that movie, pretty sick for a small vid. got it for free at a camp i went to

9th ward is a ski company.....

When I was living in Tahoe my roommate was the team manager and showed me a 9th ward board during the first year that they were made, 05'. They are pressed down at Five Axis in California the last I heard and the board is "ok". Honestly nothing to get excited over. I know the skis blow. My roommate always had peps shipping their shit back because the edges would pop out or skis would snap in half. Weak.

9th Ward

Is a ski company based in Reno. Lane has been working with them since he left Farmer to come up with some good functional boards.Lane has been friends with those guys for a while and knew Rory Silva when he lived in Mammoth.

In skiing, 9th ward is the derel brand - I know this because they put a joint crutch card into freeskier last year. Pretty funny. Esp. cause the boss had no idea what it was for.

Oh, Well I thought they had t

Oh, Well I thought they had to be alright, if he rode for nitro and then rode for ninthward, goin from a such a big company to a smaller name one, I figured he wouldnt down grade in the quality of boards. Yeah, what was up with farmer snowboards, he was on nitro for a super long time and then he was on farmer for like 10 minutes, and then moved to ninthward. I thought his Pro Model at farmer was pretty sick, the graphic atleast was.

TonTon Holland rode for ninthward last season...not sure if he still does as i heard he was picked up by someone else.

I have a couple decks and rode one last season. Super soft and buttery but still holds up well on the kickers. I'd compare it to a Rome graft but heavier and holds an edge somewhat better at speeds. The decks were made in Austria (like rome...hmmmm)
