10 directions riders love...
Whether you're a rider with an idea, a business designing for a brand, or already have the art on your sleeve, your artist is ready to work with you to bring your vision to life.
The same artists who develop GILSON's lineup graphics take your idea through sketches, color studies, and proofs until it could pass for a production board from a major brand. The difference: it will never be mass produced, and yours will be the only one on Earth.
See What Others Have Created
Freestyle
Blunted nose and tail for a shorter board with the same capabilities of your normal ride. Butterpad base and full wrap side wall for guaranteed longevity.
All Mountain
Traditional shape with a butterpad base. Ready to shred whatever you throw at it. Full wrap sidewalls to handle those occasional tree taps.
Full Camber Twin
A modern spin on the traditional camber snowboard. This Full Camber Twin is designed to hug the mountain, lay down big carves, and have maximum stability.
Powder
Spoon nose and swallow tail for the ultimate powder experience. You will have trouble riding on hard pack once you take a few freshy laps on this dream machine.
Yes, and it might be one of the best gifts in snowboarding. You're not just giving a board, you're giving the experience of designing one. Order it, and we'll email you a certificate to print and give. When your rider is ready, they connect with their GILSON artist and design the board themselves. It shows up at their door a couple weeks later, theirs in every sense.
Almost anything. Pet photos, personal artwork, tattoos, family portraits, landscapes, you name it. The one restriction is intellectual property: no copyrighted logos, album covers, or TV, movie, and video game characters unless you own the rights or have written permission from the owner. If the art is yours or was made for you, we're good to go. Not sure about your idea? Run it by us. No judgment, ever.
You pick the channel: text, email, or DM. Your artist asks what you're thinking, and your starting point can be as small as a favorite color or as complete as a finished mockup. From there it's renderings, your feedback, and revisions until it's exactly right. You approve the final design before anything gets built. Most riders finalize in 1 to 3 rounds, and you get as many as you need.
Yes. Your graphics can be built on any model and size GILSON makes. Not sure what fits your riding? A GILSON Builder can walk you through the options after checkout, no pressure, no guesswork.
The price shown above is everything. It covers the 1-on-1 design work with your GILSON artist, a completely original design, and the board itself on any model we make. No design fee, no other charges. Shop Pay installments are available at checkout.
Military, first responders, and outdoor industry professionals: reach out and we'll set you up with a personal discount code. Thank you for the work you do.
Three things add up to your timeline: art development (3 days to as long as you need, average about 1.5 weeks), the build (7 days), and shipping (3 to 5 days). Riders who move fast on design have gone from order to door in about 2 weeks. Most land between 2 and 5 weeks, depending on how many design rounds you want.
Absolutely β pet boards are one of our most popular custom requests. Whether a dog, cat, or any other furry (or not-so-furry) family member, our graphic designers are experienced at turning photos into beautiful board art. Many customers honor pets who have passed away, celebrate current companions, or combine multiple pets into one design. Just send us clear, high-quality photos and let us know any special touches you'd like.
Completely normal, and some of our favorite builds start this way. Some riders arrive with a full mockup and exact colors. Others bring "I love the color teal" or "something inspired by the mountains." Both work. Share a vibe, a palette, a rough concept, or a photo that inspires you, and you and your artist will take it from there.
Then we're not done. You get unlimited rounds with your artist, and nothing gets built until you approve the final design. Your artist's job isn't to get close. It's to get it exactly right.
Verified reviews from riders who designed a custom GILSON with one of our artists.
I love this snowboard!!! So much fun to ride full mountain and the graphics are incredibly beautiful
My experience with Gilson was absolutely incredible! I was at a point where I was researching boards and I came upon Gilson and reached out to the company with questions.
To my surprise, the owner of the company, Nick took my call and spent almost an hour with me learning about what I was looking for. He listened to me with patience, asked what I was looking for and questions about my riding style before making his recommendation on their custom boards, and putting me in touch with their graphics design artist who helped me bring design to life.
The board they created for me is 100% unique and one of a kind, and is the perfect combination of a rocker camber style board which perfectly fits my park and freestyle riding style.
Iβve already recommended several of my friends and people that I meet on snow to the Gilson brand, and I strongly recommend anyone whoβs thinking about buying skis or a snowboard to reach out to Gilson, have a conversation about your riding style and what youβre looking for, and see how Gilson can help. They have incredible customer service, a wealth of applicable industry knowledge, and even better products β you seriously canβt go wrong with Gilson!
Great product, great team, fast turnaround.
Can't say enough about the team at Gilson, Landon and Nick! They put together an incredible design using all of my old concert ticket stubs, not to mention the autographs, pictures and backstage passes I've acquired in my over 30 years in the music industry as a tech!
I've had the board for 3 or 4 years now. My standard go to in the set. Consistently used for all mountain both stateside, south of the border and in Japan. Looking to move all my boards to gilson. Just need that big big wide body!
Best decision I've made was having a 1-of-1 custom snowboard made by GILSON. The process was incredibly smooth. Landon, the designer, completely got my vision and went above and beyond to create something that is almost too nice to ride... Almost.
The ride: The full-camber board rides amazingly. I am an old-timer who just likes to carve his way down the mountain, and this board handles beautifully.
I have been telling anyone who will listen: if you are in the market for a snowboard, Gilson is the way to go. I was a lifelong Barfoot Snowboard rider, and since Chuck hasn't been making boards anymore, I needed to find a new company. I am really happy I found GILSON.
I got a custom pair of the freestyle 96 skis. It was an amazing experience to get connected directly with the artist and be able to tweak the art to exactly how I wanted. As for the performance of the skis, I abused them almost daily for a full winter, and they held up perfectly. They are fun and playful, but not too soft. Overall, great skis and great experience working with the company.
I own 4 sets of Gilson skis and they are my go-to every time I hit the slopes. They are playful and easy to maneuver with no chatter. And aside from being such an amazing ski, people comment to me all the time how much they love the designs. I can't wait to get my 5th pair.
For a custom designes board and patent lifted enhanced control edges, Gilson Snowboards are the master of snowboarding! The factory tour gave us greater insight and appreciation of everything and amazing detail that goes into each board made us glad to have a GILSON !
Thanks again

I Have two Gilson Boards. One is a Gilson Undead, 3D base. The other is a Gilson Fly. I got to go out to the factory and help make the Gilson Fly. I did the graphics and worked with the Gilson team to finalize the design before it went into production. They were wonderful to work with. I have not ridden the board because it is at my grandmother's house on display. The graphics are in honor of my grandfather who worked at the Bethlehem Steel.
The Gilson Undead is the most playful board I have been on thus far. Surfy kinda feel with the 3D base. However, I can still carve it hard on toe edge. For park and cruising it's good.. though it does feel a little heavy at times. Powder wise, it wasn't the best in deep snow. But I'm also not used to riding powder.
I haven' been able to ride it in about two years caus' my friend keeps borrowing it for the season. She is still la beginner and has an easier time on it caus' she doesn't catch an edge as easy as she does on the other board she borrows.

Awesome boards, awesome crew. Youβre missing out if you donβt give them a try and get yourself a custom top sheet.
I have had 4 Gilson hyper camber boards and love them!!
Love my gilson. The hybrid camber is so playful yet responsive for all mountain and the park. Really supports heavy presses and snappy tricks. Highly recommend. Also the gilson crew is super legit and great people, love to be a part of a dope story like gilson is creating.
Great board. The custom graphic came out perfectly.
Stoked on my board! I loved the catch and release graphic but wanted the classic wood grain for the top sheet. GILSON made it easy and we built exactly what I wanted!
Sick set up. Probably bugged Nick more times than I care to share. Guy made sure I loved the setup before they did anything else. Better communication than Iβd expect out of any company out there.
Dude. You just have to ride a Gilson, bro. The Fly in deep pow feels like surfing a wave π€
Couldnβt have had a better experience and the design and build came out amazing!!!
As small business owner they new what I was looking for when making custom board with my logo on it. I gave the Gilson Team very little to work with and the final product is a show stopper. Thank you guys!
As always, the Gilson team crushed the design & delivery! The board rides incredibly smooth.
Amazing customer service, amazing team, wonderful addition to the world of snowboarding. Get constant questions about the board and happy to tell everyone who asks where it came from.
Great job!
amazing craftsmanship on my custom order. Landon helped bring my ideas to life and delivered such an amazing board. 6 STARS for Gilson Team for making dreams come true! π¦
