Mike Olson took everything he has learned about board geometries and construction in the past 40 years and created the Techno Pop Cygnus BM.
Founded on a dynamic “enhanced banana” C2 contour the Cygnus BM oats effortlessly in powder and its perfectly tuned cambers and deep sidecuts combine with the radical central rocker to set up incredible edge hold and carving on hardpack and ice. All this is built in the most space age Mike Olson genius composite construction possible; unidirectional carbon over 30° carbon mega X over magnesium fiber bands wrapping a recycled PET plastic bottles, Paulownia, and FSC® certified Aspen core. Eco sublimated bio beans top and rugged, fast sintered base. The results are magically fun, dreamy, high performance all terrain snowboard that is sure to put a smile on your face and a 360 carve in theirs.

MERVIN MADE!
|
|
MADE IN THE USA Our factory crew is a highly skilled, committed crew of artisanal American Kraftsmen who ride the boards they build. Mervin is built by creative doers and active participants from the original action Kraftsmen Mike Olson and Pete Saari to our CEO Anthony DeRocco and all the way to our newest crew carrying the Mervin Made torch on the shop floor. We love to ride, it's what we're about! ZERO HAZARDOUS WASTE If there is any one thing that we do that separates us from every other board factory in the world, it's the fact that we don't leave any hazardous waste behind in our manufacturing. Our proprietary printing process gives our artist's imaginings full realization with tip to tail vivid colors and detail. Yet it creates ZERO HAZARDOUS WASTE in the process, no one else can say that. ECO MATERIALS Only the best stuff goes in to our boards. The best to ride, the best for our Kraftsmen to work with and the best for the planet. Eco Materials like Non-petroleum based bio-plastics, soy based elastomer sidewalls, low VOC epoxy, additive free basalt fibers and FSC "pure" certified wood cores. ECO PROCESS Our Eco Processes started with Mike and Pete's aversion to the use of toxic solvents in automative lacquer clear coats and screen printing. Through trial and error and extensive research they were able to put in place a set of processes that made the making of boards safe for themselves and their friends. It turns out what's good for us is good for the planet, who woulda thunk it... ECO POWER In Washington State our electricity is 89.6% hydro electric which makes a lot of sense when your getting world record snowfalls at Mt. Baker. On top of that our factory heating system runs on a renewable based biodiesel. SAWDUST TO SOIL Having our own wood shop means we get to control every aspect of wood core production. Making sure we use only FSC certified fast growing renewable forest products, finger joining to maximize wood yield, repurposing any scrap wood either to be used in the factory or as kindling in the community and recycling our sawdust to be turned in to soil. That's right we're celebrating the dirt bag! Our sawdust goes to growing the fruits, vegetables and errr..weeds that many enjoy on the Olympic Peninsula and beyond. |
