I’ve decided I’m going to start a Snowboard company. I’ll call it AndyTech or MAYBE or Biological Child or something like that.
How much would you pay, if you could order a custom snowboard in your exact length, width and profile, with every individual component you want?
Can anyone lend me a Mil to get my company started??
Any investors? Anyone?? No? Okay
I’ll think bout investing if you are serious. Dont have a mil though haha..
On a similar note, my mates and I are going to build a skateboard press
Isn’t that what Fyve already do with their custom boards?
Yeh pretty much
yeah and I’m pretty sure they cost about $400? so cheap.
$500, but I don’t think ya can choose the size/profile/flex etc?????
Actually yeh, you can get one of their custom boards and you choose which profile and size, maybe not flex. and graphic
NOTE: this price doesn’t including shipping.
We use EXPRESS UPS SHIPPING
They are all USA hand-crafted boards, so turn around time could take 3-4 weeks.

I’d like to hear more about this.
Yeh, we are looking into it at the moment. Prob gonna cost us about $400 in materials. Then we are hoping to source the decks through our contacts and get the same wood as Cliche use.
And last week at Knox park, a young fella was talking to me about Boardworld and asked if we made decks and if we were going too. Was an idea that I was gonna throw at you and have a chat about
Hmmm I’ll have to check out Fyves custom boards, sounds like a step in the right direction.
But I was thinking more specific then that. Like length, width, profile BUT ALSO exact components.
Imagine taking the best parts of every board you’ve ever had and putting them into one.
So the length, width and profile to suit your current riding ability PLUS the base, core, edges, edge profile, top sheet and internals (carbon layers etc)
I’m just pipe dreaming, but it would be awesome.
The board I just bought is everything I want in a board EXCEPT I want Stepchilds sintered (golf base surface) base. I guess I’m just getting more and more picky

I’m not really serious, I’m never in one place long enough to do it. Plus I think making a board that doesn’t break would be a nightmare.
Your skateboard decks on the other hand, I want to be one of your first customers! Let me know when you’re up and running, I’ll buy one for sure. Have u come up with a company name yet?
And please don’t call it SHART Skateboards
so even with that , i would probably struggle.
lol lol

Sorry, I may have said that wrong. We are gonna get the blank, uncut decks to make the shape of our mold. So maybe 2 different sizes/shapes. And hopefully get the veneer wood from the same source.
Havent worked out how we are going to print on them yet. Actually thinking of every board being hand painted. This is not a mass production thing, just something fun and different for us and our mates.
My mate is an artist and skates, he will prob do designs. Havent looked into printing designs. Dont have equip for that.
