The Happy Place – Kim the Butcher Edition is an exclusive collaboration between Slash Snowboards and Luxembourg-based artist Kim "the Butcher" Schreiner.
Growing up between his family's butcher shop, skateboarding and snowboarding, drawing became Kim's way of expressing the world around him. Over the years, his unmistakable style evolved into dark, hand-drawn illustrations where skulls, thistles and symbolic imagery reflect resilience, resistance and the cycles of life.
For Kim, snowboards are more than equipment—they're canvases where DIY culture, personal expression and snowboard culture come together. His Happy Place graphic is a reminder that happiness isn't something you find—it's something you create.
To complete the experience, every board includes a handmade RISO-printed zine and an exclusive sticker pack, extending the artwork beyond the snowboard itself.
Ride it. Read it. Make it your own.

About the Artist

His unmistakable visual language reflects the creativity, independence and DIY spirit that continue to define snowboard culture.
Hybrid Camber features a loaded camber section between the feet and rockered tips. The camber section maintains stability between the feet, while the flat areas underfoot let you load up ollies and the rockered tips offer forgiveness. This creates a very playful, easy turning board.
FLEX
INGREDIENTS
CARBONBON
Two carbon fiber stringers stretching outward from the inserts to the contact points in both the tip and the tail. Like prongs sticking outward these additives feel out rough terrain, promote pop, generate stronger edge hold and create a more playful ride.
BI-AX FIBERGLASS
Biax fiberglass is a two-way weave of fiberglass with strands running every 90-degrees. It's more forgiving, easier to flex and highly versatile for all terrain types.
POP WOODCORE
Arranged with premium strips of poplar for a lightweight and smooth flex with added beech hardwood stringers tip to tail through the inserts for power transfer and durability.
PROGRESSIVE SIDECUT
Our progressive sidecut design blends many radii and smooth contact points for buttery smooth turn initiation, edge-to-edge transition and edge hold. It's different for each model and matches the sidecut to the board's specific camber profile.
SINTERED BASE
Our Sintered quality base is fast, durable and requires less waxing. We believe in using the best possible materials in our boards.
BELT FINISH
The belt finish gets your base optimized before it’s fully waxed.
IMPACT DAMPENING
A vibration dampening rubber used between the steel edge and the sidewall. Absorbs impacts only to a very small degree, its main purpose is to act as an adhesion layer between the edge and sidewall to prevent the possibility of delamination.
