Our thang.

We have been working on putting together our base philosophy for Shaf Board so you folks know what we are trying to do here. The final draft is written in scrawled pencil on lined paper with many crossed out words and eraser marks, but here is what we came up with so far:

Shaf Board is about mantaining a local attitude. We have a firm belief in riding local mountains, local communities with  local riders and what we will call "local stoke". We are stoked on making handbuilt boards and will not discriminate against beginner or advanced, male or female, young or old. Regardless of your skill level and age, we want you to ride boards that you feel comfortable with and are well made.  We will help you find the board that feels and looks right to you. If we don't have it, we will work together to build it.
Our vision is to build the best boards with an emphasis on environmental sustainability. Shaf Board will use pine resin based epoxy, bamboo wood cores and recycled steel edging and plastics. We'll find ways to minimize our waste materials and packaging will be minimal and consumer recyclable. Basically, we will seek a balance between performance and our responsibility to the earth.


So that's what we are going for. Please! Leave us any feedback you may have. Winter is coming...

Thanks y'all.
