{"product_id":"petran","title":"The Best Friend \"PETRAN\" Pinar Birim \u0026 Giray Dadali Limited Edition Ski","description":"This is a unique triple collaboration between artist Pinar Birim, engineer Giray Dadali, and us at White Ski. Last season, while Giray was developing this new “Best Friend” ski, he also traveled back to his homeland of Türkiye to explore the mountains and connect with his cultural roots, producing the movie \u003cem\u003eOf the Black Sea.\u003c\/em\u003e During his travels, he met Pinar Birim, a contemporary Turkish artist known for her evocative work that often explores themes of cultural identity, human connection, and abstract expression.                    \u003cbr\u003e                                           Pinar is a true jack-of-all-trades, Turkish badass! She was a professional snowboarder on the Quiksilver team, becoming the first female snow and skateboarder from Turkey to reach this level. Later, she transitioned into the arts, studying graphic design and fine arts, with her work ultimately resonating across diverse audiences.                   \u003cbr\u003e                                           For this graphic, Giray and Pinar spent hours sorting through dozens of her pieces, narrowing it down to a few options. From there, Frank took those pieces and applied them to this unique Best Friend ski shape to see which we liked best. It immediately became clear that this graphic was the definitive winner. On the base, we used one of Pinar’s favorite sayings, “I am where I am.” Though simple, it carries a powerful meaning.                   \u003cbr\u003e                                           This collaboration borrows its name from the “Petran” snowboard—a traditional wooden board without bindings that local children and adults have long used to slide down snowy hills. This rustic, traditional style of riding is a unique part of Turkey’s snow-sport heritage and has even influenced modern snowboarding.                   \u003cbr\u003e                                           We made only 100 pairs of this incredible graphic on our new, highly anticipated powder ski, The Best Friend. Each pair is hand-signed and numbered, so you’ll own a one-of-a-kind ski like no one else on the mountain—and have an awesome story to tell when everyone in the lift line asks about them! These 100 pairs are guaranteed to sell fast, so if you’re looking for a new Best Friend this winter, make sure to order now before they’re gone!                   \u003cbr\u003e                                            Watch Giray’s award-winning movie, \u003cem\u003eOf the Black Sea\u003c\/em\u003e, and follow Giray and Pinar.","brand":"White Ski","offers":[{"title":"177cm","offer_id":68098005270816,"sku":"J24BFPET177","price":556.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"184cm","offer_id":68098005303584,"sku":"J24BFPET184","price":556.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"191cm","offer_id":68098005336352,"sku":"J24BFPET191","price":556.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/7967\/6192\/files\/BEST-FRIEND-PETRAN_FULL-SKI.png?v=1793628220","url":"https:\/\/silentkey.store\/products\/petran","provider":"Silentkey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
