Make it your own.
Every custom Bear Walker board is one-of-a-kind. Due to the craftsmanship, custom boards have up to a 6-12 month build time. Once your custom request is received, I'll schedule a design consultation to discuss the details for your board.

Only the Best
Every board is made from a custom maple plywood made exclusively for Bear Walker boards.
Bring in the robots.
We use a two-axis CNC machine to cut your board precisely how it was designed.
Finessing the details.
The deck is hand sanded using specialty tools for smaller spaces. In many cases, the deck may not meet our standards of quality at this point and it is cut again. We repeat this process until the board passes our quality tests.
A stroke of genius.
Each board is hand painted and hung to dry in our paint booth. Once dry, we go back over the board to sand down to the details.
Protect and preserve.
Several layers of clear coat are applied to protect your board and the design.
Bring it altogether.
The trucks, wheels, and lights are installed, tested and your board is ready to ship.
Durability & Usability
Our boards look badass and are built to ride, but more importantly, they’re built to last. We use high-quality shock pads, bushings, bearings, and wheels to ensure durability and a super smooth ride.
-
Does the board have grip tape?
No. We custom mill the grip pattern into the board design. This makes the grip of your board more durable and stronger than traditional grip tape.
-
Do I get to see a design before it's made?
Absolutely. I send a rendering of the design for approval before I begin building the your custom.
-
How long does it take to make?
There's generally about a 4 month wait until your board is made, but once it's started it takes about 2 weeks.
-
Can I get whatever I want?
This is YOUR custom board. I'll give my advice on what will work best, but it will embody your ideas and get your final seal of approval.
-
Can you do different sizes and shapes?
Yup! We'll go over that during the consultation. Size and shape is one of the main factors when determining your quote.
