FAQ
General
What makes Smith Board Co different?
At Smith Board Co, we do things differently in two key ways.
First, we believe wakesurf boards should match the rider—not the other way around. That’s why we focus on designing boards for real people with real riding styles, from advanced trick-focused riders to weekend cruisers. Our lineup is engineered to give you the best ride possible, no matter your skill level or body type.
Second, we treat board building as an ongoing process of innovation. While most boards on the market stick to the same designs year after year, we’re constantly pushing the envelope. Every board we make is part of a continuous cycle of testing, learning, and improving—so you're never riding yesterday’s technology.
In short: we think like engineers, build like craftsmen, and ride with purpose.
Which board is right for me?
It depends on your style, experience level, and what kind of ride you’re after.
Every board in our lineup is built with purpose—whether you want something fast and drivey, agile for spins and tricks, or stable enough to build confidence as a beginner. Not sure where to start? No problem.
Check out the board descriptions for a quick overview, or email us at support@smithboardco.com with a few details about how you ride. We’re always happy to help you find the right fit.
