Our Story
Robby Naish on a beautiful wave at Backyards in 1992
Enter Steve Maier, NoLimitz, and the Original Skinny.
Steve Maier, the Founder of NoLimitz
A young NoLimitz team rider - Luke Siver - ripping at the Hatchery on his flying shark.
Tony Logosz was one of NoLimitz’s earliest team riders. Tony would go on to found another Gorge icon - Slingshot.
Not surprisingly, we now all ride Skinny masts!

Team Riders: Mike Delehanty, Eric Girard, Tiffany Ward
In the mid 1990s, NoLimitz started a new venture - the first production carbon fiber snowboards. The boards were stiff, responsive, and light, and found adoption from Big Mountain snowboarders to park riders alike. NoLimitz sponsored a number of mountain expeditions in the Canadian Rockies, and one to previously unridden peaks in the Russian Causcaus.

NoLimitz Team
Steve Maier - President / CEO
Steve’s our lead designer, tester, and product architect. Steve’s Original Skinny back in the 90s started NoLimitz and led Innovative Composite Engineering to where it is today. Steve is deeply focused on creating better products that deliver on performance, durability, and cost effectiveness.
You can find Steve in the gorge in the summers and on the North Shore of Maui on the winters, hopefully enjoying some overhead ground swell in 18 knots of breeze.
Alex Malinchoc - Brand Manager
Alex is responsible for customer satisfaction and ensuring that NoLimitz delivers on its promise to its customers - rock solid products that generate stoke every session.
On a windy day you can find Alex getting rolled in the waves on the coast. Alex loves NoLimitz masts also because they don’t break because Alex really hates dragging windsurf gear back to shore against the current and thinking about sharks the entire time.
