In 2010, The Joggle Factory was founded with the mission of making our beloved joggling boards accessible, affordable, and maybe even for The Joggle Factory to become a household name across the nation.

Chris, from the coast of South Carolina, and Kristi, from the mountains of Virginia, share a passion for the outdoors, good conversation, and cold libations. After meeting in 2005, these passions have blossomed in so many ways. As they say, “birds of a feather, flock together.” After Chris ‘popped the question’ in 2008, he knew the only gift for his girl would be a joggling board, where they could sit outdoors and enjoy each other’s company on the porch of their first home. Although Chris is a perpetual procrastinator, he did start looking for a joggling board well before their wedding date and kept hitting dead ends. Rather than find a more attainable gift, he decided to put his woodworking skills to good use by designing and building his bride a joggling board.

Once an entrepreneur, always an entrepreneur. Chris saw there was a larger need to build this Southern staple, not just for the affluent and the Charlestonians, but for everyone…and thus, The Joggle Factory was born in March of 2010. Over the years, The Joggle Factory has grown from a small shop in the couple’s backyard in Charleston, S.C., to the company’s first production shop in Summerville, S.C., and now to its current shop on Edisto Island, S.C.

Although leaving a small green footprint from our company has always been a major part of our mission in creating joggling boards, having our first son, Wiley, solidified these practices. We want him, his brother Oliver and sister Luella to live in a better world and to embrace the love of the outdoors with the joy of family and friends together.

Cheers!

Chris, Kristi, Wiley, Oliver & Luella Outland
