About Blank Snowboards

The concept of Blank Snowboards is not new to most snowboarders, yet nobody can seem to find a quality board at the right price.
This is the reason Blank Snowboards was created-to answer that demand.

It all started one day when I was reminiscing with some friends about the good old days, when we weren't slaves to the
8-5 grind. It was during one of these lunchtime BS sessions that the concept of Blank hit me. A long story and a few years
later I was looking at prototypes and molds with Brandon Bybee, Jason Murphy, and Benson Miller. It was a dream come true—me
and some bros. were forming a snowboard company. It took several models and lots of time on the hill to get the board where we
wanted it. We weren't going to settle; we wanted more than just your average board. We were also just as determined to be
able to offer it at an even greater price. Boards today are so outrageously priced because there is so much wasted cost built
into the price of a board other than the board itself like corporate overhead, overloaded graphics, a pro. name, and retail
markup. Since when do you have to be rich to snowboard? We didn't want to have anything to do with all this crap. We
wanted to make snowboarding more affordable without compromising the quality. And here we are.

We are in every sense of the word a "blank" company. We're all about the purity and love of the sport, not
about all the other stuff. We just want to make a great board and have a great time doing it. Our 2009 models include white,
blue, black, green, and pink snowboards with various backs and sideboards.

Our Manifesto

We are on a mission to take snowboarding back from corporate America by making snowboarding affordable without compromising quality. We were there before snowboarding became what it is today: mainstream, unaffordable, and all about the hype. We want to give back to the sport that has given us so many memories, friendships, and great "sick" days by providing the best product at the correct price. We have found that by cutting out all the unnecessary costs (ie: retailers, graphics, and high-paid riders) we can provide the best decks in the industry for 1/2 the price of any comparable board. We are about the sport, not the hype. We are the traditionalists, not the trend.
