Our Journey
The short version? We love snowboarding.
We are a company BY SNOWBOARDERS, FOR SNOWBOARDERS.
Our founder and co-owner, Ryan Paul, has been a professional snowboarder for over a decade and with over 20 years of experience on snowboards and with the help of manufacturers with even more time under their belts, Sleep Snowboards is a dream and a reality!
Together with his wife, Kasey Paul, they strive to make super freakin fun boards to ride that are going to last, beating gender norms by making all genderless boards and keeping snowboarding inclusive to anyone that wants to shred.
Sleep Snowboards, the board of your dreams!
Our History
2020
Winter One
We started Sleep from the ground up, in 2020, with 3 snowboards: The Mango, The WormChild, and The Zebra Goat. Each board was different in graphic and construction, in a different size from the others. We limited the amount of decks we pressed of each graphic, making the boards timeless and special in their own right.

Winter Two
In the second season, we pushed to expand our brand. We grew from 3 boards to 7, taking what we had gained from Sleep's Winter 1 collection and building on that for the needs of the people. We added 3 boards to a "price-point" collection that we called the "Como's," inspired by a small tow-rope hill in the heart of St. Paul Minnesota, called Mt. Como. We made these boards more budget-friendly and tailored them to be ideal for beginners who are just getting into snowboarding and experts who want to beat up on their snowboard by putting it through the paces on all types of obstacles. Notable mention from the other 4 boards was and still is the Dutch Oven board- a 152-centimeter deck of crazy chaotic graphics that are loud and obnoxious, and random, but really really fun!
2022
Winter Three
Year 3: another step into the abyss! We put more boards into our line and even ran a few graphics on our high end-boards in multiple sizes. We coined our cambers: EasyRide, LoPro, & xTREME!
Two favorite boards from this winter are the Carrotz and the Easy Does It
2023
Winter Four
23/24!!! A lot of awesome stuff happened this winter. We introduced smaller and larger sizes. Our lineup of boards expanded down to 135 and up to 158 centimeters, using the highest quality materials and construction. We also introduced the Mega Pow camber and board construction to our brand, running a graphic called The Hitch Hiker on a 155 cm deck. Two freestyle decks that were big hits were the Shadow Jumper and the White Elefant.

Winter Five
This winter is the best yet! It's the culmination of all that has come before and the start of what's next. We have added a bunch of flair to the lineup and created new boards with even better materials and technologies. Every deck serves up a unique personality and is sure to be a dream board for its owner. We continue to make the best boards money can buy in larger, yet still limited, quantities for mass consumption worldwide. We also offer free shipping sitewide on everything (for US orders) as well as no taxes (for basically everyone) because of our new HQ located in Bend, OR. We have enhanced our Freeride and Pow game with new sizes and shapes of MegaPow cambered snowboards like the Humble Pi in 152 and 159, and the Goosfraba Swallow in 156. Ryan Paul has a slew of pro decks built for the highest performance, and all the other Sleep Limited boards are tuned up and ready to rip! Let's get it!
