14 SNOWBOARDS / GRAPHICS BY MAKS EIDELSON

TOGETHERHEADS STUDIO, VANCOUVER · 16–18 OCTOBER 2026 Most people only ever see the graphic that made it onto the board. For three days in October, Endeavor Snowboards showed the rest. Fourteen snowboards with graphics by Vancouver designer Maks Eidelson stood on a white ledge at TOGETHERHEADS Studio on East 4th Avenue, next to the alternate colourways, the cropped details and the directions that went unused.

In the words of the show’s poster, it brought together “finished graphics and artwork alongside alternate colourways, unused directions, cropped details, and elements of the visual language developed across the collections.” Large prints ran across the floor, white flowers sat on a mirrored table, and a zine collected the alternates that never got a topsheet.
