Who is Red Panda Boards?

From the moment I saw a skateboard, I was hooked.

I’m not sure if it was a friend skating down the street or Michal J. Fox skating behind a truck on the big screen, but the moment I saw a skateboard, I wanted one.

Not too long after, that Christmas I believe, I had a deck and was skating down the street. From childhood, being with friends, skating solo on a summer morning, or shopping for the next deck, skateboarding has been in my blood. I hope that our art inspires, entertains, and stokes creativity in the heart of young and old.

We are a family-owned, family-run skateboard company.

I launched this company as a husband, father, son, author, illustrator, and skater. Red Panda Boards is dedicated to providing top-shelf designs and skateboards that parents would love buying for their kids, teenagers would be proud to skate, and adults would want to leave work to skate.

As a company, we believe in bringing balance and joy to all of life through skateboarding and art. The Red Panda, our mascot and logo, is a blend of balance and joy: lively, fun, fearless, and joyful–the personality traits all skaters need to have.

Fun art. Great Wood. Exciting Sport.

No AI art here.

We design and draw the decks. Period. No computer generated art allowed here.

Like the rebels who started this sport, we are rebelling agains the rape of a profession: illustrators must be allowed to design, create, and make a living.

Robots are not the future. People are. Living human artists are. Every deck you buy supports the arts and furthers the pushed back on A.I. ruining the livelihood of skilled men and women who create beauty, goodness, and truth with their hands, paper, ink, and wood.

We take pride in using our God-given talents, and going from sketch to final design without the help of an algorithm.

What type of boards do you use?

Red Panda Boards uses BBS/Generator wood, 100% 7 ply Canadian Maple, pressed into modern shapes. The boards are strong with massive pop that skateboarders of any skill level will enjoy. Graphics are printed and pressed by hand, using high grade UV inks to create the most vibrant colors possible creating a professional level skateboard with unmatched quality.

30-Day Guarantee

30-Day exchange on all BOARDS and T-SHIRTS IF returned with no damage, marks, obvious stains, obvious tampering, obvious bleaching, etc. 30-Day exchange on all BOARDS if broken during the normal usage of the deck. (NO exchanges will happen if the board is obviously dropped from a building, driving over by a car, smashed against a wall in rage…you get the point.)

Got a question?
No problem.
