Coldwater Culture

Earlier this year, we travelled down to Santa Barbara to check out the Channel Islands factory. We'd like to show you a little peak inside, showing a little bit of how things work there. They shape A LOT of boards, but it's clear that they care about each one. From detail in the CNC machine [...]

In it, we tour the North American shaping facility of JS Industries. We are super stoked to have them in our line-up of boards. They place a huge emphasis on attention to [...]
