Disrupting traditional education through innovative board design.

Students engage in project-based learning by choosing the type of board they want to create, fostering creativity and decision-making skills.

Dream it,

Students will participate in our hands-on curriculum, starting by dreaming up a board design. They’ll choose the type of board to craft—skate, surf, or snow—define its functionality, and envision the custom artwork to bring their creation to life.

Build it,

The next part of the process students will take part in experiential learning through hand-crafting their board from start to finish. Our job is to prepare our educators with confidence to lead their students through the process of fabricating their board. 

Students will handcraft boards from start to finish, honing 21st-century learning skills such as collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity throughout the process.
After crafting their boards, students take them out for a ride, making it a truly hands-on and real-world applicable learning experience.

Shred it!

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