First ever kickflip on Balance Longboards

I started longboarding about 10 years ago when I realized that I was no good at skateboarding.  I mean I couldn't even ollie.  Although that fact still stands true today, I met somebody today who can.  With in 20 mins of meeting each other this kid had a kickflip dialed on the Platypus.  He was working of presure flips and triflip when we left each other.  Although our meeting was short, I was able to grab some quick footage of his stuff. 

Stay tuned, we have plans on making a full length video in the near future.  Here we are again pushing what can be done on a hardwood longboard.  I know this was the first kickflip done on one of our boards, but it may also be the first one done on any sort of hardwood longboard.  And I know that there aren't a lot of kickflips being done in the longboard world right now.  Were going to keep innovating and keep pushing what can be done with hardwood longboards, as well as longboarding in general!!

Love life!!

New Layups!

Here we are, getting into fall, sounds like time to release a couple of new layups.  We have basically gone ahead and added a center stringer to our boards.  I think it gives the board a little more substance, a little more to look at if you will.  

Now we have 8 different decks, combined with 8 different layups.  Im not math genious, but my calculator told me that there are now 64 different combinations of boards to chose from.  There are some board companies that are made in China that can't compete with that.  

Stay tuned throughout this fall we will be releasing even more layups as well as some other options.  

Always handcrafted, and always made in the USA!

Custom Boards


We have been pumping out a lot of custom boards lately and I just wanted to keep everyone posted on all of them.  From just switching up the layouts, or coming out with your own design, here is what has been coming out of the shop lately.  Tons of people have been adding concave to the Val.  It turns it into an amazing downhill board.  


Give us a call with your idea for your deck, or check out the pictures for some ideas.  So far we have been getting great response with all of our custom decks.  Love your life, and find your Balance.


Love life,


Tom
