Snowboards, skis, surfboards, and bikes from small American shops — founders who ride, test, and stand behind their own gear.
Yes — American-made action-sports gear still exists, from 13 verified picks below spanning six disciplines. Some claims are whole-catalog, some are scoped to a single product line — we called out the difference in each description rather than rounding up.
Never Summer — built in Denver, CO. Our own founder has ridden one since 2009.
Atomik Climbing Holds (Provo, UT) states it manufactures everything at its own shop, per its About page. Spider Chalk says it's the only chalk company manufacturing blocks in the USA, at its own Atlanta, GA facility.
For road/gravel: Moots handbuilds titanium frames in Steamboat Springs, CO, milled to an aerospace-grade standard. For BMX: S&M Bikes' ATF frame is built in Santa Ana, CA — that claim is per-model, so check the individual frame page before assuming it covers the whole lineup.
Moment Skis owns and operates its own Reno, NV factory for all-mountain and powder skis, with public factory tours. For water skis, Connelly and Radar — sibling brands — have built in the Lynnwood/Snoqualmie, WA area since 1965.
One board, ridden and reviewed by our own founder.
Ridden by our own founder since 2009 — 17 years — full story coming soon on video.
Moment owns and operates the Reno factory that builds every pair, per the brand's own FAQ — public factory tours included.
One deck line with a verified factory claim — the brand's standard catalog isn't.
Built in Powell-Peralta's own Santa Barbara production area — this FLIGHT line specifically. Their standard maple decks are made overseas, so this is a scoped pick, not the whole catalog.
Hollow wooden boards, built from Maine-grown cedar.
Handbuilt in York, Maine, from cedar the brand says is grown and sourced locally in Maine — raw material and build both claimed domestic.
Chalk and holds, made and packaged in American facilities.
Owned and used by our own founder — Atomik is employee-run and states it manufactures all of its products at its own Provo, Utah shop, per the company's own About page.
Manufactured at the brand's own headquarters near Denver — packaging is separately claimed as wind-powered and zero-waste.
The brand states it's the only chalk company manufacturing blocks in the USA, at its own Atlanta facility.
Frames, panniers, and bikepacking bags from small American shops.
Handbuilt in Steamboat Springs from titanium the brand says is milled in the USA to an aerospace-grade standard. Premium price point.
The brand's ATF frame page states "100% chromoly construction. Made in the USA." specifically — this claim is per-model, so check the individual frame page before buying another one.
Bikepacking bags cut and sewn in downtown Los Angeles since 2010.
Bicycle panniers and commuter backpacks, cut and sewn in-house in Portland, Oregon since 2009.
Wakeboards and water skis from the same Pacific Northwest area.
Hand-built at the brand's own Lynnwood, Washington facility since 1965, per their site.
Radar's site says every ski is produced at their own "Radar Lake U.S.A." — a brand name for their facility rather than a public street address, so treat this claim as real but less specific than most on this page. Sibling brand to Connelly, above.
