The super limited edition Capita Peter Line Rainbow 153 Quickstrike officially hits store shelves tomorrow\u00a0— although based on Instagram, hungry board collectors have already started snatching them up. The graphic features the iconic rainbow, which Peter first used on his Division 23 pro model in the mid 1990’s, as well as some more modern accouterments such as\u00a0pizza, boobs and cigs. Spanning 20 years, the rainbow graphic is one of snowboarding’s most memorable art pieces and we caught up with the man himself for a little history lesson.<\/p>\n

What was the original inspiration for the pink rainbow graphic on your Division\u00a023 board? <\/strong><\/p>\n

I think it was a Sean Sheffey skate graphic of Hello Kitty or something pink and I just thought it was awesome to have a girly graphic. Not sure where the rainbow came from or why I didn\u2019t do white polka dots. I can still do those on my re-re-re-issue board in a few years.<\/p>\n

How many different variations of the rainbow have existed over the years on your pro models?<\/strong>
\nOnly the three D23 originals, the Forum 10-year reissue and this one. I think on one of my other Forum graphics, I had a hand drawn rainbow and they may have made an icon from it at one point, but I\u00a0can\u2019t remember.<\/p>\n

Has there ever been any homophobic blowback over the years? Any issues with sensitive retailers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think so. When the D23 one came out in ’95 or ’96, it really wasn\u2019t a known logo for the gay community. Later, when the rainbow logo was more prevalent and known, I think some people were thinking I was gay because of my graphic. I really didn\u2019t care, I didn\u2019t know of the rainbow meaning when I used it as my graphic, now I think it makes it even better. I love pissing off homophobes.<\/p>\n

Do you feel given the current climate of acceptance for gay marriage and trans gender individuals in America, this graphic holds the same impact it once did?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Probably not, especially this new version. Cigs, pizza, boobs and pills? It may have its own impact far aside from having a rainbow on it.<\/p>\n

\nHow did you team up with Capita?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been friends with Blue since the D23 days and I\u2019ve always respected the Capita brand. And plus, it’s here in Seattle, so even better.<\/p>\n

What else are you up to these days?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh, stuff. Designed Jess\u2019s graphics for Capita again, designing the men\u2019s outerwear for Dakine, shooting product photos and writing for Snowboarder Mag. There\u2019s this three-part documentary about me coming out one of these days soon. I have a goggle with Electric coming out that carries a similar theme, as well as a shoe with DVS. And maybe some other stuff, but I can\u2019t remember. And hoping it actually snows this year!<\/p>\n

The Peter Line Rainbow Quickstrike is available at select retailers starting October 20, 2015. Hit up your local shop soon if you want one!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
