"Kindred Crafted"

All our skis, snowboards, and split boards are the alchemy of poets, artists and craftspeople transforming your snow experience, allowing you to carve your own story into the mountain.

Every ski & board is hand made on Vancouver Island in the Kindred factory by a group of talented and experienced builders.

Each component is meticulously built in-house, ensuring every curve and edge embodies our commitment to quality, thoughtfulness and creativity.

This dedication allows us to maintain unwavering quality control, so every ski and board that leaves our shop is a masterpiece of craftsmanship and passion.

Read more about our materials, construction and craftsmanship below.

HANDCRAFTED QUALITY

Every component of our snowboards, split boards, and skis is meticulously crafted in-house on Vancouver Island, British Columbia where an acute eye for detail reigns. This dedication ensures unwavering quality in every creation that leaves our workshop.

AAA GRADE POPLAR WOOD CORE

All our cores are vertically laminated, knot-free, AAA-grade Poplar. This creates a well-balanced core that translates vibration evenly throughout each piece. While offering a smooth ride, Poplar offers the responsiveness required in a high-performance, premium ski or snowboard.

TOP QUALITY COMPOSITES

Materials matter, and premium composites like Carbon Fibre, Fibreglass, and Titanal refine the flex and feel of your snowboard or skis. Each fibre weave and orientation is meticulously selected to maximize performance and enhance the unique character of every shape we create.

CARBONIUM TOP SHEETS

Our carbonium topsheets have a finely textured surface that mimics a fabric look. They reduce scuffing and tend to handle more abuse while looking new for longer. Carbonium is a very durable, scratch—and chip-resistant material with a high-tech carbon fibre look. This textured material also provides more grip than a gloss topsheet, working as a built-in stomp pad. 

ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE BIO-BASED EPOXY RESIN

We use Entropy Super Sap epoxy systems. Through chemistry, biobased and rapidly renewable raw materials, and efficient manufacturing, Super Sap is a green alternative to more harmful epoxy products. Gentle on the planet and exceptional for premium snow products, it transforms our creations into harmonious masterpieces.

PRECISION CNC CONSTRUCTION

This is where computing power meets the purity of powder. With CNC precision, we craft every component of our snowboards, split boards, and skis in-house. This ensures rapid prototyping and exact repeatability, merging technology with the art of snowcraft.

Made With Care

Like every artist's stroke and every poem’s meticulously chosen word, each ski and snowboard is crafted with care and precision. Our creations blend durability, performance and flexibility with the elegance of timeless art, reflecting the devotion poured into every detail. 

Whether you're driven by performance, dreaming of backcountry adventures, cruising the groomers on weekends, or a beginner who wants to start with a strong foundation, Poet Skis and Snowboards promise years of joy and exceptional performance.

CUSTOM SKIS & SNOWBOARDS
