Scorpio Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I guess the first question should be, are Black Pearl Snowboards even around anymore? I remember a couple years ago, someone was talking about them on here. And secondly, anybody had the chance to try them out here in the US? I recall they had that extreme hammerhead nose to them.

GeoffV Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Seems like they are only in Japan these days. http://www.blackpearljp.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc H Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Did they go back to working for Kessler yet? Great boards from what people say. I never see them being used in races; only Kesslers. Is it the price? Somebody said those have to be given to you in order to own one.

MikeC Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Phil Schoch has been riding them since last year. They look pretty standard except you could move a yard of dirt quicker with it than an excavator. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc-alex Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Phil Schoch has been riding them since last year. They look pretty standard except you could move a yard of dirt quicker with it than an excavator. :rolleyes: This is Philip and Simon Schoch's own brand. Boards are acually made in japan.

Silver Bullet Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Are those Sidewinders mounted directly to the Sigi Deck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Tat Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 No they're mounted onto a Sigi Plate though. If you take a closer look you'll notice the board has gold spots and the plate has silver spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmatic Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I guess the first question should be, are Black Pearl Snowboards even around anymore? For sure they are and You will find ways to order them. The much more interesting question would be, are Black Pearl Skis even around?

kipstar Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 radical stubby nose, I LOVE how it looks! Now with all the custom jobs from Donek etc, I guess easy enough to convince Sean to make the front end look like that, as it will make a good dining table as well as snowboard ;_) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowmatic Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Just form follows function we need on that Black Pearl snowboards. Many progressive ski and snowboard manufacturer let outlines and forms following the function. Nice examples about that we found at Zai Ski. Seek for ZAI Laisa: and ZAI Nezza: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
