Happy New Year Si Boarders!
2015 came to a close with lots of updates and fantastic opportunities. I am so proud to work with dedicated vendors to create everlasting products for you. As we head into 2016 I look forward to creating more educational content and value added services to meet your needs.
We will have our first ever price increase of our products to account for increased manufacturing costs. We want to give you the opportunity to lock in your 2007 prices until February 1, 2016. Please see our story below.
Sincerely,
Elysia Tsai, M.Ed., ATC

It has always been a priority to bring you the highest quality in products, customer service and overall experience. As you may know, our prices have not changed since we started in 2007. As we continue to strive for excellence, we have a few changes ahead that will allow us to maintain our high standards. A price increase of our urethane products will happen February 1, 2016. We want to give you advanced notice.

A core value of mine is to give you a wealth of information for free. This includes our mobile instructional app, downloadable images and instructions and videos. We look forward to providing updates and making more videos for you. New ideas constantly spark in my head and many times it's from interaction I have with you. Seeing new moves you post and Instagram or answering your questions leads me to a new branch on this giant instructional tree.
I feel it is valuable to share knowledge and ideas. As a Si Boarder you get comprehensive training built into your purchase, completely free of charge.
Since I developed this company from the ground up, I insist on answering all customer service inquiries. Many times, I'll spend 30 minutes on your email or phone call to thoroughly answer your questions about product choices or training exercises. Many are surprised I answer the phone and you usually say "your voice sounds familiar, are you the one in the videos?". As more of you are welcomed into the Si Boards family, my email has rapidly increased and I receive daily phone calls.

Mark is one of the urethane masters dedicated to making the best Balls and Rope Balls
Every part is hand trimmed after the molding process. This takes time and a careful hand
8.5" Large Ball after molding and before finishing processes
For example, it can take a whole day to manufacture just one 10" Ball. It takes at least 6 hours to heat the mold thoroughly, then 30 minutes to pour and set the Ball. After the Ball is released it takes another 30 minutes to reheat the mold to proper temperature for the next Ball. We let the Balls cure for 24 hours on the rack and then they are hand trimmed along the mold line and pour holes. All that effort for one amazing super bounce unbreakable Ball!
Our Balls are made in a closed mold system which is extremely difficult to pour and cure properly
Rope Balls waiting for trimming. It takes several hours for the mold to properly heat before any balls can be poured

All of our products are hand-made and finished by skilled craftspeople using the highest quality materials. Urethane is hand poured and individually trimmed. Our boards start as a plywood sheet and then are cut, shaped, sealed, silkscreened, gripped and assembled by hand. The steel rails are mandrel bent and then finished by hand welding, seam blending and re-flattening inch by inch. It's an incredible amount of skilled labor to make our parts consistently. I have a close relationship with our all of vendors and I love watching them make each and every part with dedication and pride for Si Boarders.

Rails are acid washed, hand sprayed and powder coated on the assembly line

These guys are the best... A little goofy at times... But the best board men around!
