From the Founder
I grew up chasing adrenaline on snowboards and skateboards - the thrill, the struggle, and the people around me.
After 10 years as a mental health and addictions nurse working with youth, I’ve seen how crucial support, belonging, and direction are. Board sports offer just that - a mix of challenge, focus, and celebration that builds confidence and strong humans.
Today, I watch my daughter ride with confidence, and I want every kid to feel that same joy.
Bluebird isn’t just a brand - it’s a crew, a culture, and a commitment: to the youth, the small community parks, the big competitions, the ride ahead, and the reminder that doing hard things and being cheered on matters. Always.
