Positive Dissonance
Featuring Ashton Pickle

Co-founded by a shaper, our brand continues to honour the craft and the people who carry it forward. Ashton Pickle embodies everything we stand for, hand-building alternative shapes from start to finish, thinking outside the box, testing his own designs, and collaborating with friends and artists along the way.

This project opens the door to the full process — from concept to design, shaping to glassing — honouring traditional methods while exploring new ideas in form and aesthetics. A quiver of asyms ranging from 5’10 to 9’4, the waves and surfers equally as varied. We were stoked to support the project along the way and hope it offers a look at the time, skill and satisfaction behind bringing one of Ashton’s boards to life.
