Three years ago, we had a vision of snowboarding on the streets. It was an irresistible idea -- the ability to float long slides and easily control speed on the downhills. That vision inspired numerous prototypes and led to serious test sessions. With each new prototype the snowboard ride moved closer. Eventually, we dialed it in and started ripping. We started selling a pre-production version in Dec. '97 and in Summer '98 we launched our first production product, the FB-112.

Freebord Manufacturing is based in the Mission in San Francisco. It's an ideal location for us, with great hills, the ocean nearby, and Lake Tahoe not far away. All of our components are designed by us and manufactured in the USA. We build our boards because we believe in the ride they offer, and we stand solidly behind every one we make.
