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
Kim "the Butcher" Schreiner has been immersed in snowboard culture since 1991. Today, he combines graphic design, illustration and a lifelong passion for snowboarding into artwork that blurs the line between art and lifestyle. His unmistakable visual language reflects the creativity, independence and DIY spirit that continue to define snowboard culture.
A tried and true camber profile that offers a precise feel, predictable turns, solid edge hold, suspension and powerful pop. Traditional camber distributes weight evenly and offers a progressive flex pattern.
FLEX
INGREDIENTS
3D LIFT
Now in its 3rd year for the Vertical and debuting in the 22/23 ATV, 3D lift pulls the tip (and tail) of the board away from the snow. Heavier scoop in the Vertical’s nose for extra float and now more subtly in the ATV’s tip & tail, akin to a dog’s ears, it provides more butterability and extra float.
BURIED TREASURE
This is our ultimate truss of carbon, Kevlar and basalt fibers. The effect is lightness because the connecting strength of fiber allows us to slim the core’s thickness. With our strategic placement this gives certain liveliness to the board by adding response to the tips and leaving torsional softness between the feet.
TRI-AX FIBERGLASS
Triax fiberglass is the time-tested classic. It features a three-way weave of premium fibers with strands running at 45-degree angles. It provides superior pop, consistent torsional flex, and more overall response.
FOREVER WOODCORE
Constructed from four different lightweight wood species—paulownia, spruce, beech and poplar—for a premium core that offers a highly tuned and dynamic feel. It’s flyweight, durable, filled with pop and highly reactive.
SINTERED BASE 7500
Our Sintered quality base is fast, durable and requires less waxing. We believe in using the best possible materials in our boards.
DIAMOND STONE FINISH
We add a slight diamond-structured stone grind to the base to maximize glide and optimize durability. It eliminates the slow, suction cup feel that comes with one-dimensional base finishes.
SINGULAR SIDECUT
A predictable and powerful sidecut with a single radius that makes for consistent turns. It’s ideal for intermediate and advanced riders who already know how to carve a turn, like to ride fast, and desire strong edge hold.
STEEL EDGES
We build our edges with 35% more steel content than the average. They are simply stronger and more durable than the alternative.
FACTORY WAXED
All Slash boards are factory waxed with OneBallJay wax and ready to shred straight out of the wrapper.
KICK STAND
Our Original Identity shape saves material and weight and also stands up without tipping over like rounded boards do!
