Story Behind
Lea Bouard’s skiing journey hasn’t always been smooth. Pain, doubt, and fear shaped her - but they didn’t stop her. Instead, they sparked a transformation. Together with Elan, Lea turned her story into something powerful, bright, and beautifully her own: a ski that celebrates resilience, confidence, and the magic of starting again.
This special edition Ripstick 88 W is her personal canvas. Everything you see on it comes straight from her heart, her sketches, her comeback, and her love for skiing.
From struggle to transformation
The butterfly represents transformation, a symbol of rebirth and the courage to trust the process. The flowing hand-drawn lines express resilience, capturing her movement forward, her energy, and the freedom she reclaimed on snow. The bold pink edges and full pink base radiate strength, adding a confident, playful spark that turns every run into a celebration.
Born from her struggle, shaped by her transformation - this ski carries her story, and now it’s ready to ride yours.
