Boards without Borders · since 2012

Boards have no borders.

Skate, surf, snow. We use board sports to give kids in the places that need them most a deck, a coach, and a community.

Khajuraho. One park. One thousand kids.

In 2014 we co-built India's first community skatepark with Holy Stoked. Concrete next to a school. Hand-tools. Local labour. The kids who learned there are now coaching the next ones.

Now we go to Bali.

Bali has surf. Bali has skate. What it doesn't have is a path for the kids who want to ride seriously and have no equipment, no coaching, no programme. We change that.

Share the joy

Every board we paint funds the next one we ship.

Artists from across Europe turn blank decks into auction inventory. Every winning bid goes back to the next park, the next school, the next kid.

The art network

Sixty painters. One blank deck at a time.

From Jim Avignon's pop colour to El Bocho's Berlin street language — our artists turn skateboards and surfboards into auction-grade pieces. Every sale funds the next build.

Voices

Signed by the people
who matter to the cause.

Over the years, our painted boards have been signed and authenticated by German cultural icons. Their signatures turn a board into a four-figure auction lot — and that lot funds a kid.

"Painting on a board is the easiest way to put art where it actually moves."
Bela B.Die Ärzte · FluxBau, 2013
"Kids on boards is kids on a path. Simple as that."

"The auction model is the cleanest fundraising mechanic I've seen in the scene."

"You can feel the through-line — from the artist's brush to the kid in Khajuraho."

One more thing.

The pre-launch list opens
at Fusion Festival 2026.

The single most predictive metric for Kickstarter success is the size of the list before launch. Help us hit five hundred.
