Mons Røisland’s first pro model comes with serious bite. Built off the legendary Sensor Pro but cranked up with extra-aggressive camber and our stiffest flex rating, this true twin is made for high-level freestyle destruction—think explosive ollie power, locked-in precision, and the control to stomp huge rotations. Whether you’re attacking Olympic-sized park features or taking tricks deep into the backcountry, this board has your back. Boned-out grabs guaranteed.

To celebrate the release, we sat down with Mons to talk through the graphic, the process, and what it means to him—and we’re giving you the chance to win one. Read the interview and enter the giveaway below.
1. What sparked the idea for this graphic? Was there a specific story, symbol, or vibe that led you to put a dog bone and skeleton on your board?
The idea came from my two dogs—Martha and Tinka. I’m a big animal lover and wanted the graphic to reflect who I am and something from my life. While I was on a snowboard trip in Norway with my dogs and a couple of friends, I started sketching and looking at inspiration. I tried combining elements from some of my favorite boards over the years with the idea of a dog-themed graphic.
2. Did you handle the artwork yourself, or did you team up with another artist/designer to bring this graphic to life?
No—my drawing skills don’t belong on a snowboard. I got a lot of help from my good friend and filmer, Christian Bjønnes. He translated all my ideas into something we were stoked on, and then Jean Michele, graphic designer for Nidecker, finalized it for production. It was a really cool process that started with drawing on an iPad around a bonfire with the dogs up on the mountain.
3. Is this your first pro model, and if so, how does it feel to see your own ideas printed on a snowboard?
It is my first pro model! It feels very special—and honestly, surreal. What’s cool to me isn’t just making the graphic, but also being part of building the board itself. From testing 12 different prototypes a couple of years ago to arriving at this final snowboard—it’s been such a fun process. Now I can’t wait to see other people riding it.
4. What type of rider do you imagine loving this board?
I honestly think anyone could have fun on it. It’s built for the park—responsive and able to handle big features—but not limited to that. Lots of people have tested it, and the common theme is that it’s fun and quick in the mini-park, but also trustworthy on big features and aggressive riding.
5. Through the board’s development process—from concept sketches to the final graphic—what moments stood out to you most?
For me, it was the first time Christian and I sat around a bonfire and started drawing the skeleton dog. We had gone through so many ideas, but that was the first moment it really clicked and made sense.
