“Nimble yet calculated, the Shepherd moves through the mountains with intent and purpose.”
— Nick Russell

The Shepherd

Built for those who roam by instinct, the Shepherd is a finely tuned extension of body and mind—a tool for creativity in wild places. Its lightweight construction is designed for riders who want to push to the next ridge without burning the energy needed for the descent. From couloirs and steep pitches to exposed spines, the Shepherd delivers confidence in serious terrain while remaining adaptable wherever the journey leads.

A directional camber profile paired with an early-rise nose, deep sidecut, and purposeful taper creates a board that feels quick, nimble, and eager to flow with the mountain. Stability comes when it matters most, thanks to WNDR Alpine’s Algal Core and Algal Wall construction. Break trail on the Shepherd and move forward with clarity and intent.

Features

Algal Core
A biobased composite of high-density polyurethane foam and domestically sourced aspen that reduces weight while delivering damping performance impossible to achieve with traditional solid wood cores.

Algal Wall
A biobased cast polyurethane sidewall that provides superior damping compared to conventional petroleum-based ABS sidewalls.

Powered by Microalgae Oil
Every WNDR Alpine product is built using inputs from a renewable resource—microalgae oil—reducing reliance on fossil fuels without compromising performance.

Inserts

Spiral Plate Insert Pack
Made from reclaimed production waste, this insert system exceeds traditional aspen in pullout strength testing and virtually eliminates insert spin.
