Oakley Shred Shop Challenge 2012

Snowboarder Mag and Oakley teamed up to fly us out to Mammoth last year for the Shred Shop Challenge, a contest for snowboard shop employees. Team EB consisted of Mike Rav, Tanner McCarty, Dyl9 and myself. Although we didnt take home the $1000 cash prize and bragging rights (Wave Rave took that, Congrats again guys), we did put together the best team run done in competition ever. (footage?) Anyways heres the video...

This years contest is Wednesday, March 20th. Tanner McCarty, Ryan Kelly, Cole St. Martin, and myself are going out to take this one down. Keep an eye out on the Eastern Boarder instagram, facebook, and blogs for updates.

Again a HUGE thank you to Oakley, Snowboarder Mag, Jeff Baker, Pat Bridges and everyone who made this contest happen. See you guys Wednesday.

Oakley X Grenade Frogskins !

We just got these new limited Grenade Frogskins, military green with gold colored lenses. The Grenade logo is printed on the inside arm and also etched into the corner of the lens. They come with a nifty Grenade soft-pouch. We all so have a bunch other cool colored Oakley Frogskins in stock as well as our Oakley Eastern Boarder goggle. -SPK

It's back... in black!

Eastern Boarder and Oakley have teamed up again creating the third generation of this classic colab. This time turning out a super clean crowbar in two different lens options to celebrate our 20th year of East Coast destruction. One lens option is the black iridium which is more of a chrome finish and better for bright sunny days, the other option is the hi-intensity persimmon lens which is not as stealthy looking but better for those cloudy flat light days that the "Ice Coast" is famous for. Both goggles are available now at all Eastern Boarder locations and also on-line at easternboarder.com. These wont be around long (only 75 pairs total!) So get while the getting is good!
