"I think that Craig would be proud that every new board that comes out of our new R&D space reflects his spirit and legacy." - Jake Burton Carpenter Today, we proudly celebrate the 13th anniversary of Craig's, our 10,000-square-foot state-of-the-art proto shop and R&D lab located at #BurtonHQ and named in honor of Craig Kelly. To commemorate the occasion, we produced 13 limited edition boards to be given away to our Tier 3 First Chair Loyalty members. Designed by #BurtonEmployee Norm Thibault, an R&D Mechanist who's worked at Craig's since it opened, the board's graphic is a tribute to Craig. The Raven represents the seven lives lost in the backcountry of the Selkirk Mountains and reminds us of Craig's presence and spirit. At the entrance of Craig's, on top of an original snowboard press, there's a metal sculpture of a raven to remind us that Craig is always watching and inspiring everything we do.

Bummed I missed this... Beautiful board. Can you at least re-release this CK sticker? I ran out of them a few years ago and it's impacted my flow. I met Craig at a premier of Scream of Consciousness, played in a small skate shop in Santa Cruz. There were maybe 20 of us. CK stayed for about an hour after the movie was over and just hung out with us. Incredible vibe. A year later I moved to Tahoe.
Great tribute to CK. Ride in Peace.🤙
What a gnarly board and design. Hell yeah! 👏
That is a beautiful board

Someday… I’ll be tier 3. Good luck to all of them. This is a special ride! …and if you get one, you better ride it! Craig wouldn’t have it any other way! It’s a banger not a hanger! :)
I need one of these in my quiver! Shred in peace, CK! 🤙🏂

3moLove this. Not many brands have the credibility to authentically do something like this, and Burton Snowboards is one of the best.
