2024 VANS M DANNY KASS

If there was a Snowboarding Hall of Fame, Danny Kass would be in it. A true rock and roller with a foot in the grave, his career as a professional was nothing short of—and quite literally—a reality TV show. From his early days on the East Coast to multiple US Open, X-Games, DK has arguably influenced as much of the contemporary snowboard scene as anyone in its history. In this next phase of his career, Danny is focused on paying it forward, sharing lessons learned to the next generation.

 After more than a decade apart, Vans is very proud to present this limited One & Done project with Danny Kass. Inspired by the core spirit of snowboarding’s freedom of expression, our “One & Done” program highlights a single-season release that reflects how this community continues to inspire us. Each unique and carefully crafted run will be available for one season only. And when they’re gone—they’re gone for good.
