Here are some photo's Matt and I took during the Signal tour in Japan a couple of weeks ago. It was way to much fun. We drove something like 1000 miles, ate 10 bowls of ramen in 8 days, oh yea and Matt ripped off his big toe nail on a hotel room door... It was filled with all kinds of adventure.

SIGNAL SNOWBOARDS & FIVE AXIS MERGE
BOARDING & LODGING
On August 1st 2007, Signal Snowboards, a Seattle-based company, and Five Axis Manufacturing, a Huntington Beach-based factory, joined forces and merged their companies. This amalgamation has produced a new consortium by the name of
"The Lodge."
"Our companies had a philosophical compatibility," says Signal Director, Dave Lee. "We knew that if we came together as a brand and as a factory we would have more resources and would be able to focus on the issues we see in our industry from manufacturing to retail."
While Signal remains the primary brand, The Lodge has plans to not only continue to produce OEM brands, but to improve the manufacturing experience for those brands.
" We have the capabilities to customize, design, and build any configuration of elements to the client's specifications. And because we are right here in the US we can do it in a day," said The Lodge Director, Marc Wierenga. He added, " There are respected and creative brands out there that don't have their own factory. We want to provide them with a manufacturing experience that makes them feel like they do."
Signal and The Lodge plan to unveil the new factory and more details in January 08.

Coffee, community, and customer service; Signal resonates with snowboard shops!
How is Signal different than other brands?
Well, we are independently owned, and yes we are pro-snowboarders, but there is more to being a lifestyle brand in snowboarding that just pumping out new product every year. We strive to give Signal dealers and riders a more socially interactive experience, one of comfort, connection, and original ideas.
April 15th! Less than two month until Hammer picks a new Signal rider from Signal's shop sponsorship program, Signal Street Team. Check out www.signalsnowboards.com and click on the Street Team to see amazing footage of these young riders pushing themselves to the limit!
What are you drinking? Signal Coffee continues to build momentum by simply making the most delicious coffee you've ever had! Ask your Signal dealer how you can try some today. Or click on the Signal Coffee logo on the main site.
Ever shredded the upper peninsula of Michigan? Matt Hammer and Dave Lee just returned home from the Casualties Snowboard shop one day Boot Camp at Marquette Mountain. Eighty riders from all over the state came out to ride with Matt, Dave and other local coaches to learn, laugh and rip rails, boxes, and jumps. After riding all day Andy and Matt Jones from Casualties threw a crazy house party U.P. style! Night's festivities included a DJ Erik Dahlstrom, drinks, and plenty of passed out yoopers! It was amazing!
Tradeshow madness is over, but the quest for new shops continues. If you're wondering who your local rep is, email us and we will get you in touch. Discounts for preorders ends March 1st. Receive the Signal!
All the best,
Signal crew.

Signal Press Release: December 19 2006
Receiving the Signal!
First off, Happy Holidays from all of us here at Signal Snowboards.
Signal is quick to predict that 2007, or the year of the pig (if you go by the Chinese calendar) is going to be a year that brings home the bacon! With the New York Times taking notice of skateboarding hero Jamie Thomas, Six Flags installing a Tony Hawk's Big Spin Rollercoaster ride, and now the city of Portland, Maine installing a couple rails/boxes in a recreation park for free use.. You can't help but feel the fire!
Speaking of, the Signal team has been ultra hot lately with Spencer Link filming a short spot for Nickelodeon and MTV this past week. The Nickelodeon spot is to get younger kids out of the house and on the hill to shred with a belly full of highly nutritious food. The MTV spot will air on Thursday, December 21st and I'm not sure what's going to take place. Tune in. Hammer has been getting a few days in at Mammoth. Most of you know it's been a little bit of a slow start out there, but it will turn around. Matt and his wife Gracie are also heading into their third trimester with the baby due in March. Guy Deschenes has been hanging in Hawaii but is now home for the season. Stephen Myers is finishing up his fall quarter of school and getting some days in here and there. While Signal am Jake Olsen-Elm is out shredding local hills and street rails in Minnesota.
Signal Coffee got a mention in the Los Angeles Business Journal last month. The interview with Dave Lee talks about his plan for providing quality organic coffee to snowboard shops, contest, and coinsurers through a coffee of the month club.
Signal Pirate Radio is working on the latest episode with an interview with Ehren Mcgehee of Jackass. Go to www.signalpirateradio.com for good music, latest happenings with Signal Snowboards and interviews.
Art director Kellie Talbot has her art hanging in All City Coffee in Seattle. Visit her website for more details www.kellietalbot.com
Signal's line is expanding for 07/08. There are three series includes a price-point Park Series, OG Series, and the Hammer Pro Series. All boards will be available for demo at your local on-snow this winter. We'll let you know on our website where we're headed next!
Signal Street Team is well underway! Visit www.signalsnowboards.com to view these local riders all across the US and Japan battle it out for a place on the Signal team in April. It's on!
