The gear I received inside the gift boxes easily tallied a few hundred dollars. The board in total cost $540 dollars, which I would have paid in full if I had purchased virtually any similar board. Each month I eagerly awaited the day I received my box, it was like I was a five year old on Christmas. I was ecstatic with the gear I received in my boxes. The gift boxes are put together by the guys at the Signal factory and the riders on the Signal team, with the help of many different brands. When you subscribe to Signal 6, you have two options: pay for the board outright, get 5 months of gift boxes, and receive your board as soon as it’s finished, or, you can pay $89.99 a month for 6 months, receive gift boxes each of the first 5 months, and get your board during the sixth month (you can also pay $44.99 a month for just the gift box or $99.99 a month for a board with a custom graphic). With Signal 6, I was able to get the board plus a TON of extra gear. When John Jackson joined their team and they came out with his pro model, I knew I needed it (he’s one of my favorite riders/I knew the board would rip). I had been watching ETT for a while on YouTube and I had been becoming familiar with Signal and their program. I desperately wanted a new board, one that I could really charge on, but I didn’t have the money to buy a board in the $500 dollar price range. This is how I came to own my first Signal board, the 15-16 John J Sierra Series. Now, you’re probably thinking “oh I can’t afford another snowboard for $500+ dollars” or “why buy a snowboard right before summer?” Well, along with the new technologies Signal has been working with, they’ve also been developing snowboarding’s first ever subscription service called “Signal 6”. Like I said before, Signal builds some amazing snowboards and I think everyone, from park rats to powder hounds, should pick up one of their boards. They also now have a board with a full carbon fiber layer in the core and a carbon fiber topsheet. It does an excellent job all over the mountain and the few times I’ve been able to take it out have been incredible (review coming soon). This new side cut was designed with help from JJ and is supposed to help you hold an edge better while riding fast and traversing. One of the changes they made in the 2015-2016 season that has returned for the 16-17 season is their new Quad side cut, which was designed by and for John J. Since the addition of John Jackson, one of the best backcountry snowboarders around, to the Pro team, Signal has started to put out new progressive shapes and technologies. a full candy snowboard, a Lego snowboard, an all glass snowboard) called “Every Third Thursday”. They even had a show on their YouTube channel in which they built a bunch of unique snowboards (i.e. Having said that, Signal Snowboards customer service has gone above and beyond what is normally expected.īased out of Huntington Beach, California, Signal is a relatively small company that builds great snowboards. Let me start this post by saying, I now own six snowboards, all from different manufacturers, and I have had great experiences both purchasing and using all of my boards, and with the customer service I have received from each of these companies.
