Compatriot Snowboard Company teams up with artists Benji, Damion Silver, and Kelly D. Williams for their 05/06 Line.
Compatriot Snowboards announced today that they will be working exclusively with well-known artists Distrikt Design Collective, Benji, Damion Silver, and Kelly D. Williams to design their upcoming 2005/2006 snowboard line. "We are stoked to have these artists be a part of our creative projects," says Dirk Handlebury of Compatriot Snowboards, "They are exactly what we have been looking for, and we are confident that you'll like the graphics on our new line- it's different stuff- not the same ideas that everyone else is recycling.” The buzz in the industry is that Compatriot is focusing on the quality of their decks, choosing top-shelf materials, and not so much the visual hype. "Ride-ability is our first concern. These boards have been created to ride like none other. Fun should be in the feel of the board. We feel that having Damion, Benji and Kelly contribute to the aesthetics of our boards was a perfect decision. He is more talented and creative than any artist we have ever worked with." stated Handlebury. Check out their website at www.compatriotsnowboards.com
