WE BUILD FUN. WE RIDE FUN.

Marhar Snowboards proudly handcrafted in Grand Rapids, Michigan, by passionate snowboarders who had the ambition to follow their dream of creating a snowboard company. Our ambition and passion has inspired us to travel down a road that seemed impossible. From day one we have been dedicated to building premium snowboards with proven quality and performance. Marhar is dedicated to giving you that "feel good" experience every time you strap in. Riding our snowboards will be something you will never forget.

People ask us all the time, “what does Marhar mean?” or “How did you come up with the name?” Well long story short, back in 2008, Nathan Morse and Joshua Skiles had full time “normal jobs” and were fresh out of college living together in Grand Rapids. After the daily routine of sitting in an office all day long, Nathan got home from work and said “lets start a snowboard company.” Remember this is long story short, so yes we both loved to snowboard, and Nate was always the go to guy in our group of friends who knew everything about every snowboard, boot, and binding on the market. So we both quit our jobs, and began the journey. Obviously we had to tell our parents, you know, the people who supported us through college and our entire lives, that we quit our jobs to go and start a snowboard company. Our parents didn’t deter us, in fact they encouraged us. We were 23 at the time, no kids, no mortgage, so rather then kill our dream, they helped us build it. So long story short, we didn’t have a name for our company yet. Growing up, Nathans mom would call all her kids “Marhars.” It is just a silly funny name that she would call her children. So as we were coming up with our name, we thought what better way to pay homage to the people who supported us. Nathans mom is the true Marhar, our dream would be dead without the support of our families who believed in a couple of 23 year old snowboarders. When we say Marhar is our life, it has more than one meaning.

Snowboarding is about community, friends, adventures, experiences and the freedom to simply have fun. On the snow covered mountains, hills, streets, parks or anywhere else you can shred, there is adrenaline, emotion and excitement that follows making rider progression endless. Whether you're old, young or new to snowboarding, you can always learn a new skill; no matter the simplicity or difficulty it gives you that ‘hyped’ feeling. In other words, snowboarding is fun! We encourage you to get out and enjoy the snow!
