BACK STORY
At Back Alley Boards, we see potential where others see waste. We take old skateboards, snowboards, and surfboards and turn them into custom works of art. Our process is straightforward: find a board with a history, give it new life, and let its story continue.
Our artists, with formal backgrounds in art and a love for the ride, collaborate on every board, combining traditional craftsmanship, sustainable practices, and a creative approach that goes beyond the ordinary. Using techniques rooted in spray paint, illustration, and digital design, we capture the spirit of sports that push limits, empower riders, and celebrate community.
We believe that when a board retires from its adventures, it should still serve a purpose. Explore our work and see how the ride lives on.
