Michael J. Zepeda III

Ride Snowboards releases the first of three Artist Series boards in 2009-10, the DH 2.1, featuring artwork from the one and only Michael J. Zepeda III. The freestyle DH 2.1 captures Michael's unparalleled signature style and elements that make it easy to see how he has become the noteworthy artist he is today. Originally from Carlsbad, California, Zepeda went to the Academy of Fine Arts University in San Francisco and currently works and lives in Costa Mesa, CA.

Mike Z absorbs the diversity of his surroundings and regurgitates them in visual explosion of boiling energy with sawing dialogues that vibrate with a razor-edge accuracy...oh, and he can draw pretty good too. Best known for his intricacy, meticulous attention to detail and remarkable poster art, Ride couldn't be more happy with the outcome.
