How It Works

Step 1 – Place Your Order

Select your skis, add to cart, and complete checkout to start the process.

Step 2 – Artist Intro + Model Selections

We’ll connect you with your GILSON artist by email. Begin by selecting your size, shape, and profile to match your riding style.

Step 3 – Share Your Ideas

Send your initial artwork ideas, no matter how big or small. Whether you have a clear vision or just a concept, your artist will turn it into a rad design and send you a first mockup for review.

Step 4 – Unlimited Edits

Collaborate back and forth until it’s perfect. Unlimited edits are included, with your artist guiding design choices to ensure it will look amazing on the finished board.

Step 5 – When you’re happy with your digital rendering, approve your final design and we’ll get started!

Production times can be as quick as 4 days, or take up to a couple of weeks depending on current order volume. We recommend getting your order in early to ensure you’re ready to ride as soon as possible.  We want to get you out there on your new 1-of-1!!

Step 6 – The Gilson Team brings your creation to life.

Our crew takes pride in bringing every custom board to life as it moves through each stage of the facility — from raw materials to a finished ride. Once your board is complete, you’ll receive an email with your tracking number so you can follow it all the way to your door.

Love Your Ink?

One of the many ways we can design your custom is working with your favorite body art to bring to life a truly unique and individualized design based on your ink!
