Tao Turns

behind the brand

A Tao Turn is movement without effort

The Tao is the idea of moving with the Flow of life. A Turn is moving to change direction. When we go with the Flow, the board will Turn all by itself.

Yin-Yang Boards

The Tao Turns logo is inspired by the yin-yang symbol, reimagined through the lens of board sports and the seasons that shape them.

On the white yang side sits a black skateboard - representing summer, light, warmth, and the energy of long sunny sessions on concrete. On the black yin side rests a white snowboard - symbolizing winter, cold, darkness, and the quiet focus of carving through snow.

These opposites tell a story of balance

The way skateboarding and snowboarding complement each other, the shift from summer’s warmth to winter’s stillness, and the highs and lows we all experience in life. Tao Turns is finding our rhythm as life constantly changes, staying steady through the peaks and the valleys rather than fighting against them. When we ride with what the moment offers, we stay centered no matter the season or the terrain.

Tao Turns was created from a simple idea: that riding a board mirrors the way we navigate life.

When you’re skateboarding or snowboarding, you’re constantly adjusting - softening, shifting, trusting your body, and flowing with whatever the terrain brings. Taoism teaches us that you can’t force your way through a turn. You have to align with it.

We built this brand not just to teach people how to ride better, but how to ride with intention. Whether it’s pavement or powder, everyone deserves to experience the feeling of being fully present, fully balanced, and fully connected to their environment.

Teaching board sports goes far beyond breaking down technique

It's about unlocking a feeling. That moment when everything clicks, when your body moves before you even think, when the board finally becomes an extension of you. That’s what we live for. Every rider has a rhythm waiting to be found, whether you’re dropping in for the first time or dialing in your first jump on snow. Our mission is to make progression feel exciting, accessible, and rooted in real understanding - not intimidation.

Tao Turns is built for riders who want more than just tricks. It’s for the ones chasing confidence, connection, and that unmistakable sense of flow that happens when you and the terrain are in sync. We are here to help you level up in a way that feels natural, empowering, and genuinely fun.

From concrete to snow, from summer heat to winter chill, Tao Turns guides you toward your own version of balance - the kind that shows up in your riding and follows you into the rest of your life. This is progression with purpose. This is riding with intention. This is Tao Turns.
