Community Impact
Riding with purpose. Giving back with intention.
At Smith Board Co, we believe in building more than just great boards—we’re here to make a positive impact on the world around us. That’s why we proudly contribute 1% of all profits to water conservation efforts.
Right now, we’re partnering with the Blue Ribbon Coalition to support their important initiative to “Fill Lake Powell.”
Why Lake Powell Matters
Lake Powell isn’t just a stunning destination for wakesurfers—it’s one of the most critical water resources in the western United States. It supports everything from water storage and hydropower generation to flood control and regional stability.
But decades of drought and increasing demand have pushed this system to its limits. Water managers across the Upper and Lower Colorado River Basin—and even in Mexico—are racing to adapt, turning to solutions like recycled water, desalination, and advanced conservation strategies.
A Shared Vision for the Future
Our support of the Blue Ribbon Coalition is rooted in a shared belief: preserving Lake Powell is essential for the future of our region.
Their Path to 3588' plan outlines a strategic, science-backed roadmap to stabilize and refill the reservoir. By backing this initiative, we’re investing in a sustainable future—not just for wakesurfing, but for millions who depend on the Colorado River system.
This Is Just the Beginning
Our commitment to the community and the environment is ongoing. We believe that protecting the water we ride on is just as important as the boards we ride with.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Together, we’re building a better future—one wave at a time.
