Rich Wiens "RAW" Tribute Pro Model X Jackson Snowboards

It finally happened! Rich Wiens has his Pro Model snowboard. This project has been a long time coming since Rich passed away unexpectedly this past January. Devastating to everyone to say the least. In short, Rich was first and foremost a dedicated Father and family man. He is dearly missed by everyone. His dedication to his children & wife, his business and partners and everything he touched was unbounded - passionate about life and everything it had to offer, is an understatement. Rich and I connected back in 1993 when he sent me a 'sponsor me' letter and video. He was digging half-pipes in fields and small resorts, boosting his famous INDYs from DAY 1. A skater to the core and then a supreme snowboarder, Rich represented me and my little company across Canada with passion and dedication. Rich had STOKE beyond measure. I finally got him into a few ads (could only afford black & white print) and he was over the moon with a full page ad I ran in Heckler Magazine, which at the time was predominantly Californian. Rich took up surfing and excelled as expected. A legend at all board sports. Did I mentione hockey, mountain biking & golf? Over the years we stayed in touch, both got married and had kids and built businesses. He always nudged me to keep getting boards made, even if I was losing my shirt. HA! Yesterday, October 8th 2026, I solemnly checked my last text from him in December 2025. He was prompting me to release or RE-release an old board graphic called the BONER and sent pics from another brand who he thought had 'snaked' my graphic and was using it currently. I was laughing and replied that I'd think about. After he passed, I reached out to his brothers Rob, Bryan, David, their Mom (indirectly) and Christy (along with his sons Declan & Reece) asking if I could do a Rich tribute model...and they graciously accepted my offer, so off I went. With the help of Rob at Wired Snowboards we finally put together this deck design and I am so stoked. Three of his fave passions tied into a progressive Vancouver made deck that packs a punch. I can't imagine how amped he would be to know this is happening. Miss you and love you RAWDOG.
