OUR MISSION

Disrupting traditional education through innovative board design.

Designed to make education more relevant and connected to the lives of students through skate, surf, and snow.

Dream It

Students will kick off our hands-on curriculum by dreaming up a custom skate, surf, or snow board—imagining its purpose, design, and artwork to bring their vision to life.

Build It

Next, students will bring their vision to life by building their board from start to finish through hands-on, experiential learning. Our goal is to equip educators with the confidence to guide them through the entire process.

Shred It

The process ends with students bringing home a handcrafted, functional piece of art—designed to be ridden and enjoyed outdoors!
