Learn how to make a DIY longboard! This was a really fun and relatively easy DIY project that's woodworking focused. We made a simple, hardwood board with no complex curvature to show how easy it is to make a longboard yourself. Whether you're a longtime skateboarder like Jay, or brand new to it like Jaimie, you can definitely make something yourself that is great looking and fun to ride.
A longboard is a long skateboard that is great for cruising and more relaxed riding. There are different types and all kinds of shapes and sizes like cruisers, downhill boards, etc. We chose to make a pintail shape, based on a really neat design from the Fibreflex series by Gordon & Smith. With nice big wheels from Orangatang and smooth bearings from Bones REDS, and the Sidewinder II Gullwing trucks, this thing rides like buttah!

6:45 Thanks a lot, now my dust collector is running...

Hahah nice

[@Gorgiss]

question, I've seen skateboards made with plywood, but I also saw one made with maple. the plywood is supposed to hold the concave bend but does using a single piece of wood have the same effect?

Future reference- if you ever make another beautiful deck like this again maybe use 1/16 shock pads. Definitely dont have to but itll keep the deck from stress cracking over time and add life for sure
