True Origins

Company Background:

True Snowboards was born in the UK in an effort to build snowboards with the newest technologies available! Chief of Engineering, Liza Brooks, is currently working towards the world's first Doctorate of Engineering in Snowboard Design - and along the way, True riders around the world will get to ride & compete on her latest kick ass snow stick creations.
Feeling that it was unfair to only share this technology in the UK, France, Sweden, Italy & the rest of Europe, True decided to pick up and break ground in North America now as well. So now starting in 2008, True Snowboards are now available in Canada & the good old US of A.
Currently, you can get one of our Shred Sticks at trueSNOWBOARDS.com as well as your local board shops. You will find the same price there as in our store, as we think it's only fair that you, the snowboarders of the world, can get a great board at a decent price - and I'm sure you'd agree with us!

First True Snowboards Commercial: True Music

Here is our first 30 Second Commercial to kick off our new "True You" campaign. Create a 30 second clip on your True Stick and send it in! Create a commercial showing us your "True Self", ie things you love, do, have done, or that simply represents your snowboarding footage. We will post ALL commercial videos on the site and get you that exposure you want. Here is Davis Paul creating his own "True Music" on his True Courage. Stay tuned each week for Commercial updates and check the website.

Sponsorship FAQ's?

Will you sponsor me?

Hopefully! We are looking for riders who are already killing it on their current shred sticks. If you are getting your name out there via videos, pictures, local mountain reps, contest results, then we have a spot for you. We want riders that will not only push the limits of the sport on a True Board, but represent the name and spread it well throughout North America.

What do you provide sponsored riders with?

It varies on what level sponsorship you receive. Based on how much you kill it, contest results, videos, pictures, and overall ability to help the company grow, we will rank you into the following categories (keep in mind that those are not the only stipulations, meaning, if your killing it with videos parts and not contests, that is just as good as killing contests with not film to us, all depends):

Grom
Bronze Medal
Silver Medal
Gold Medal
Factory

Benefits range from free shipping & swag, discounts, all the way to free snowboards for the real OG's
HOWEVER - we've setup a program unique to True Snowboards' sponsored riders that enables all Team Riders from Grom to Flow to earn free swag, other benefits, and even free snowboards for doing their best to promote True on their local hills. If we see True's sales success growing as a direct result of your efforts, you will be rewarded.

You can move up in the ranks as well, eventually, and hopefully, getting to our factory team.

If I live in the USA do I have to pay duty on my new board?

Not at the moment! True Snowboards North America is so close to the Canada-USA border that we're willing to go the extra mile (ok, 14.16 miles) in our inaugural North American season to import your new board to the USA for you & ship it from within Washington State. We're really cool like that.

How Do the Boards Ride? Park, Powder, Flex, Details?

For This we Will give you to our Factory Team Rider Davis Paul:

So guys, getting a board is big deal. You want to make sure it is exactly what you would want, so I am basically going to give you the straight forward low down on what to expect:

So the Park Boards would be these:

Courage: This board is for the Jibs! the most flexible snowboard of the line. If you want to dial down your jibbing, nail those presses, look into this one.

Deviant: This is my Board. Holds a great amount of flexibility, so you can dial in the park for sure. It is stiff enough to hold up on your kickers and rocks in all terrain. Thumbs up for best overall board.

IF you want directional tips, stiffer boards for cruising all mountain terrain, then look no further than the:
Expression & Freedom
O Ya, Ladies:
Spirit and Passion are great! If you are a park feen though, you might want to look into the Courage and Deviant. The Spirit and Passion are not twin tips, but rock big time. Fly design if I say so myself. Thanks guys, Enjoy the Sticks

How long will you take to respond to me?

We'll do our best to respond to sponsorship applications within 1 week of receiving them. We receive hundreds of applications each week, and that is a lot of videos slash pictures slash information to go through. We want to make sure we analyze each rider and their full potential, because if you deserve a Factory Spot, we want to make sure you get it.
