Introducing the Cadet Limited, a small-batch production commemorating 10 years of voyaging with United Shapes.
In 2014 we stepped into the unknown. We launched United Shapes with a strong sense of purpose and identity, but no clear destination - other than to explore the essence of the act of snowboarding. Guided by curiosity, we push forward, deepening our understanding of how snowboarding is a medium for exploration, experience, expression, growth vehicle, and connection with nature, community, and self.
Over the course of a decade our mission has become more focused: to strengthen these truths of snowboarding and shape more awareness around our approach.
There’s a certain magic created at the interface of rider and snowboard; it’s unique to the individual, but it’s there and we all feel it. This magic, this essence is our gravity. After 10 years of learning, tinkering, toiling and discovering, reveling in good times and navigating hard times, that gravitational pull feels stronger than ever. Our trajectory reaffirmed, together we are still voyaging.
