And Here We Go!

Red Five Skimboards started in the suburbs of the San Francisco Bay Area in 1987. Spawn on Ocean Beach in San Francisco the first R5 board was given birth. Originally called “Blaster” for it’s speed and ability to blast the coastline. Blaster was made from a multiply hardwood, shaped to perfection, art work applied and coated in urathane. These early beginnings gave rise to the inspiration, creativity, and urban assult that would soon become Red Five Skimboards. After years of travel and development R5 found it’s home in the East Bay of Northern California. Close to all of the major Bay Area coastlines be sure to look for us shredding the breaks

We manufacture fiberglass and multiply hardwood skimboards. our fiberglass boards are eco friendly utilizing a styrene blank with and epoxy resiin that does not include formaldehyde or phenol and is cycloaliphatic based offering better chemical resistance and improved weatherability.
