Introduction

StormBoarder.com is a UK based site set up predominantly as a fun website covering all aspects of boarding from windsurfing to snowboarding to surfing and more.

A large part of its content however is about long skateboarding and its pages provide information on some of the techniques and processes I use to manufacture custom skateboard decks.

Why? Although benefiting greatly in the past from other peoples personal websites on longboard construction, I've found informative websites on this subject to be few and far between. For this reason I have collated as much information as I can about laminating, types of wood, resins, use of glass fibre, carbon fibre etc. and built an ongoing resource for like-minded people. Hopefully you'll find what I've produced here on stormboarder.com both interesting and informative. If you have constructive comments, questions or relevant information on the production of skate board decks and the like please get in touch.

If you live in the UK and are interested in longboarding but don't like the idea of making a board yourself, I may also be able to help. For a small fee I can make up a board for you to your own specification, be it a flat downhill deck, a cambered pintail, or perhaps a concave and cambered composite deck, whatever you like I'll try to come up with a solution to meet your requirements.
