Lake Tahoe, CA - Smokin Jay Quintin opened up the factory while the mountains were still raging to make some custom M.I.P. Smokin Snowboards for the Air Blaster crew last week. We were stoked to have Travis, Jesse, Jonas, and Paul from Air Blaster come by and make their own shreds and see how it's done here at Smokin Snowboards. It was a rad day and everyone had a great time seeing what it takes to make Tahoe's finest snowboard.

Air Blaster's Paul making his custom stance.

Group Hug... now off to Squaw.

Done and ready to shred. These colors are rad.
