International Shipping
In the past our Canadian bros and New Zealand frat stars had to go though alternative means to order their FratBoards. But, after about 3 hours of brogramming, we now offer INTERNATIONAL shipping! Stay fratty, world.
FratBoards Quality Tests
The three tests undergone by every board that leaves our shop, demonstrated by an attractive female.
She has her own room in our facility, she gets paid to lick and bounce on boards all day. Pretty dope job. If any females are interested, email contact@fratboards.com.
FratBoards Team
We have always loved the concept of a FratBoards team of exceptionally fratty shredders. If you want to be a part of this revolutionary group of fratstars, and you can chug 3 bears in under a minute, then hit us up via email: contact@fratboards.com. Perks include fratboards, ladies, alcohol...
Here is the video introducing the team, more video's to come.
Summer 2012: What’s Poppin Off
Well, school is out which means that we will have a lot more to do what we do best: rage, and develop fratboards. Given that we have been drinking every day since school got out a few weeks ago, it probably time to work on the latter. So, what to do.
We are lookin forward to shooting some videos and finishing off the R&D on a few more board models. If you guys have any ideas for videos we are all ears, send em to contact@fratboards.com. Stay fratty, world.
User Submitted Graphics
Alright, so if you have an idea for a FratBoard graphic it used to be that you would tell your friends, or get it on the bottom of your own board. But now, there is a way to actually submit your designs to our online store, and make $5 for every board sold. If you dont get it, check out http://fratboards.com/submit. We have been getting tons of designs, many of which have already recieved the required 15 likes on facebook, and are in our store. Now, here are a few details, so you can learn from a few of the problems we have already run into.
Boundaries
For one, dont make super large design. The design should only be in the center area of the board. We may be able to do graphics over the whole board eventually, but for now, its just not possible.
Crests
Also, it has come to our attention that crests and fraternity symbols are trademarked. Who woulda thunk. We are in the process of becoming licensed, but just know that if it has a greek crest, logo, or name, it is going to end up costing a lot more. So for now, we can't pay you for these. We are happy to put em up in the store for your frat bros to enjoy nationally, but we cant fiscally compensate you per board. Sorry!
Save a Large Copy PLEASE
ALSO, this one is IMPORTANT. Dont forget that the final product is going to have to be about 8 inches wide. Making a thumbnail version for facebook is great, but to get in the store, you will need to send us a larger version. Keep that in mind while you are making your design.
Getting Paid
We will pay you at the end of each month using PayPal. We take the number of boards sold, multiply it by 5, and send you that amount. Simple as that. We get your PayPal info when you send us the final artwork (after you get those 15 likes).
Rules
You cannot use the FratBoards store to promote another product, service, or website. If you are interested in working on some sort of cross promotional campaign, email contact@fratboards.com.
Questions?
We are seriously so happy to help. Please either shoot an email to contact@fratboards.com or hit us up using that nifty chat thing on pretty much every page other than our blog...shit. I will get to work and see if I can get it to work on our blog, too.
UPDATE: Got it to work!
Pre-Made Fratboard Graphics
It has come to our attention that not all of our FratBoard customers are graphic designers. In other words, people arent sure what to get on the bottom of their board.
In an attempt to provide all fratstars with equal opportunity for dope shit on the bottom of their boards, we are introducing “pre-made fratboard graphics.” Basically, as cool ideas come, we’ll do all the hard work, and you get to reap the reward of some amazing graphical wonderment. Courtesy of our Photoshop skillage.
So, what should you take away from this? Three things.
1. Check out our premade graphics below, and tell us what you think.
2. If you have ideas for cool graphics, let us know. Post em to our facebook.
3. FratBoards make great oars for any summer canoe trips. Water skis, too. (Water damage not covered under warranty)
We love you guys.
Carving in more ways than one
Engraving a FratBoard for the first time is like sending your first-born son to the tattoo parlor all by himself. Will he ever be the same?
We weren't sure what to expect from Carr's Trophies & Engraving, but I'm happy to say that they do some damn fine work over there. A little wood stain later, and we had one of the nicest looking FratBoard graphics to date.
Check these out, and think about getting your next FratBoard engraved. It'll look sick.
UPDATE: Life in the Frat Castle
Just woke up today, feeling fresh. Had 3 bowls of FRATLOOOOPS, still not even buzzed. Im living in the frat this summer, so my other boys are sleeping off a long night, but not me. Im at that perfect BAC of working high power machinery to start cranking out some fresh new FratBoards. If I manage to chop off an arm today and bleed to death underneath a router table, I would like my gravestone to read: Fratted Hard (1990-2011). TFTC.
We’re legal!
Guess what? Frat Life is back, and he has a FratBoard. Check out his new video, and enjoy it. (We're not responsible for any harm caused to grandmas) We like it, so give this video some love -- it's dope.
In other news, FratBoards is now a fullblown legal entity! We have all kinds of official documents and staff meetings now, and all we wear are suits. Our retainer of lawyers is working on our extensive bylaws, and we're beginning Phase II of our master plan. Expect to see fratboards in your local governments this time next week.
In truth, we can't wait to see the response to this new video. We've gone official at just the right moment, and our ensuing trademark/patent ought to keep you intellectual property thieves at bay. You hear that, Fr@tBoardz? Get outta town.
More beautiful FratBoard models are coming soon, too. Get ready.
Here comes the FratBoard train. Choo choo!
more surface area for your skating/fratting needs
Ready for updates, everybody? The FratBoard you thought you knew has a new, angular brother ready to tear up the streets. Check back in to the site to see the new shape go live, and take a gander at the new FratBoard picture album featuring our lovely product in the hands of some lovely ladies.
Find those at www.facebook.com/fratboards
If you're done with all that, get yourself ready for a brand new video featuring FratBoards. We think it's awesome; watch it, enjoy it, and tell us what you think. Stay tuned to our facebook and blog to get that news as soon as it happens.
