CHEMICAL STORM: UNLEASHING SNOWBOARDS THAT ARE YOUR BEST RIDE!

Brisbane, Australia.
Average Winter temperature: 17 degrees Celsius.
Absolutely no snow.
None whatsoever.

But just like thousands of other thrill seekers around the world, we travel by plane, train, helicopter - whatever it takes - we’ll ride the grass if we need to. We follow the snow. We live the dream. Just like you.

We understand how serious you are about your favorite board. You love it, flog it, flaunt it. It’s your identity. Your ride. We get it.

The first two models shown here are Skull Teeth and The Shadow Followed (aka The Shadow), and are characteristic of designer Jason Bowman’s style that has drawn a growing following of admirers since the inception of his solo design company, Freakdesign, over a decade ago.

Skull Teeth and The Shadow feature Chemical Storm Octorocker technology. Our Octorocker technology combines a unique nose/tail shape design with a reverse camber which provides for a skateboard type feel when riding and is ideal for riders who enjoy hitting every roller, jib, and kicker like one big skate park.

Octorockers are perfect for beginners or those relatively new to snowboarding because they are more forgiving on the rider as it will take away the pain from those first days. Also you will be riding like a pro on your first powder day!

Along with Product Executive, Jeff Pang, Chemical Storm delivers an understanding of the love of extreme sport and the absolute, imperative factor of putting yourself entirely into the pursuit you’re prepared to travel the world for.

‘We ride everything from peak to park’ – that’s our motto. Wherever you show your board off, you’ll know you’ll have something special.

Our boards not only bear the best designs you’ve ever seen, the actual boards are built by award winning craftsmen. You can be sure you’re not only getting the best looking board, but one with the proven guts to take all you can give it.

Future models will feature designs from the best local and international artists.

Chemical Storm brings to the serious rider what has up until now been lacking in snowboard design. They’re not just ‘contemporary’ or ‘exciting’, these designs are 'freakin hot’!

You don’t have to live in the snow to know what looks good. In fact, you might say it gives a person a sense of perspective.

Chemical Storm is an Australian board design company crafting limited edition snowboards and skateboards featuring technical innovation, premium materials and advance performance.

Skullteeth: Rockin the teeth in your skull. It's a rocker!
