Welcome to Cardboard Chaos where we push paper to its limits. Our latest creation is so above and beyond that we knew there was only one place we could test it: Mammoth Mountain. At nearly 7,900 feet high, our mammoth-sized snow park came to life. Made entirely out of corrugated, this park has everything—rails, tubes and a massive bowl. The perfect park for international pro snowboarders from Signal Snowboards to shred and try new tricks.
Ernest Brings the Band Together with New Fender Bass Guitar.
Cardboard Chaos is back again with the ultimate combination of talent and teamwork, and they've made another seminal hit by rounding out the band with a Fender bass guitar. Ernest's design director, Mike Martinez, partnered with Dave Lee once more to craft the bass's body with a corrugated structure. The pair then took the groovy structure (pun intended) to Fender, where Paul Waller, Master Builder, sculpted, sanded, and musically constructed the bass. Tested. Approved. And ready to rock. The cardboard Fender Bass is no stranger to celebrity. It's been played by some of the top bassists in the country, including Brady Watt, and will continue to hold its own during the monthly Cardboard Sessions series.

The keys, please.
They tore it down. They reimagined it. They rebuilt it. Cardboard Chaos is back, and the band just got bigger. Teamwork + talent = magic. Debuting for the first time ever, the corrugated Wurlitzer electric keyboard. Made in collaboration with our very own Mike Martinez and the rest of the creative crew. Please hold your applause till the end. We haven’t even gotten to the artist yet. We were so lucky to tap Grammy award-winning music producer and composer Roberto Schilling and friends for the first sensational session.
