☙ A Family Business
for 10 Years
Island Board Corps began as a dream, a desire for
a more integrated life that brought together the
things we love most in this world – family,
friends, nature, surfing, snowboarding,
skateboarding. The dream was to create a life
in which our work was being out in the elements
teaching others the skills to interact more
intimately with the natural world.
Community has always been a central part of the
vision. Our family has bonded through outdoor
adventures. The kids were raised on boards, and
we have had some amazing opportunities to surf
and snowboard around the world: Canada, California,
Hawaii, Mexico, Japan, Switzerland, France, and
of course our beloved Washington.
When Island Board Corps launched, we expected to
have seasonal clients, but to our surprise, we
found that many of our clients stay with us for
years. Most begin with skating then move into the
other adventures. We have families that have been
part of our community for seven years and join us
for all of our activities. We have families that
come back year after year for seasonal
activities. We are still friends with our original
2015 crew. This truly is a community.
