Our Story

From 1981 to today. The milestones that shaped us.

WILD DUCK

1981

Wild Duck was a pioneering Swiss snowboard brand founded in 1981 by a bunch of friends in Vevey, becoming a legendary European name.

JOYSTICK JAMAICA

Decades later, the same obsession with the mountains drives everything we make.

AST FACTORY

FLY SERIES

2009

Launched in 2009, the Fly was one of the first true backcountry skis of its era. A big double rocker design that helped define a new generation of freeride skiing.

The X-Series was one of the first ultralight touring skis, featuring North TPT technology — a carbon fiber construction inspired by Alinghi racing boats.

ALP TRACKS

2015

The Alp Tracks, the next generation of the X-Series, brought a lighter build with a radical, newschool shape and skiability ahead of its time, all in an ultralight carbon construction. Originally launched exclusively for the Swiss market, it went on to become one of Movement's most iconic skis worldwide.

The 3 Tech was one of the first helmets to meet three safety norms at once, combining light weight with durability to suit skiers, cyclists, and climbers alike.

NEW FACTORIES
