Over two years of development and the name BoardUp has meaning as the first ever folding longboard with a locking hinge. Patents are filed and prototypes are in the works. All that’s left to do is take a jump and put their first round of boards into production.
BoardUp sought out a financial bump to get this process rolling. The board’s designs were refined and the chosen materials worked well so the company wanted to get others involved. Within one month and some change, BoardUp raised just under four times ($59,456) the funds requested ($15,000).
Over 300 supporters from around the globe showed their support for BoardUp with their backing in hopes of getting once of these longboards in their hands. Ultimately, this pushed the people at BoardUp even more to produce a high quality product for their backers and future customers.
Because of the successful campaign, Boardup was able to move forward with production.
