September 15, 2009 - Ride Snowboards releases the first of three Artist Series boards, the DH 2.1, featuring artwork from the one and only, Michael J. Zepeda III. The DH 2.1 captures Michael's unparalleled signature style and elements that make it easy to see how he has become the noteworthy artist he is today. Originally from Carlsbad, California, Zepeda went to the Academy of Fine Arts University in San Francisco and currently works and lives in Costa Mesa, CA.

Mike Z absorbs the diversity of his surroundings and regurgitates them in visual explosion of boiling energy with sawing dialogues that vibrate with a razor-edge accuracy...oh, and he can draw pretty good too. Click here to check out Michael’s video and bio page.

The DH2.1 will hit select stores October 1st and is only available while supplies last. Visit ridesnowboards.com/dh2 for authorized retailers.
