Our values

For 17 years now Dupraz has been putting the emphasis back on the shape itself, offering timeless products with a single shape reference, as well as carry-overs in terms of design, against the trend of the "collections" that come out every year.

This leads to more responsible production, and reduces the incentive to buy a new board every year.

Since its beginnings Dupraz has chosen European productions, made in democratic countries by people who know what they are making and who enjoy real social rights.

Moreover, the materials used in the manufacturing process are deliberately chosen to achieve the exceptional durability that characterizes our sliding gears.

All our boards, the result of 40 years of experience, are unisex, reduce effort and increase performance. They push all riders to play with all terrains and in all conditions, and deliver unique emotions for all.

The DNA of the brand, by Serge Dupraz

?No compromise

If the DNA of my brand is well before 2003, and the birth of Dupraz-snow by my shaping skills, it is with the arrival of my emblematic model, the D1, that I decided to move the lines.

Gone are the days of the plétoric ranges, back to basics with a powder and deep snow gun capable of carving like no other on the track.

Serge Vitteli and his V-turn are unrivalled and this image of the ultimate curve is reflected in each of the riders of my generation, except that it is in a team that I created and on a board of my own design that this exploit was made possible.

From then on I did my best to bring it to everyone.

Driving is a strong and founding axis of my brand, pleasure is the second one. How can you not marvel at a powder field that opens up to you and let go while enjoying this ultimate feeling of freedom?

Time suspends its flight, the elements around you take on their full brilliance and the feeling of "surfing snow" takes on its full meaning.

It is in this spirit that Dupraz was born and develops, and I am proud of it!

Convictions, by Serge Dupraz

?My beliefs

Different brand, for different riders. ?Human first?.

The freedom of riding is meaningless without taking into account your playing field.

I will not Greenwash you by selling you greener or less polluting boards, because our "industry" has not yet freed itself from certain processes that are unfortunately unavoidable.

Nevertheless, I keep a close eye on this and work with my colleagues on a daily basis on those small everyday gestures that make the difference for me.

Choosing to produce in Europe for a European market was a minimum for me.

Choose teams and presses that manufacture in a democratic country,

by respecting labor and workers' rights helps me sleep soundly.

Choose a production unit that is sensitive to the search for local materials,

glues without toxic volatile compounds, water-based inks, etc. as well.

Profit to sustain my business, yes, but not at all costs.

This proximity allows me to limit, as much as possible, emissions, during prototyping or deliveries, and when we exchange, many of these calls are now online.

The choice of a limited range and models with an assumed longevity (more than 10 years between each renewal by our riders) finally confirmed me in my path, consistent and sustainable.
