One Board One Tree

To give back to the environment we have decided that for every skateboard we sell, we plant a tree. One tree produces at least 60 boards. So with our program, one tree will turn into at least 60 new trees planted.

100% Canadian Maple

Canadian Maple is a strong and proven material used in the world’s best skateboards. We source only the finest veneers found in Eastern Canada.

Kicktail

Take your skating into the third dimension with a kicktail. We design our kicktails to work perfectly with each deck shape as well as with the truck and wheel setup on each complete.

LOW CAVE

Mellow concave that barely feels like it’s there, but designed to give you the control you need, when you need it.

SANDED WHEEL WELLS

Wheel wells reduce the risk of wheel-bite by increasing the gap between wheels and deck. Sanded or CNC’d wheel wells both allow for larger wheels or looser trucks, if desired.

Watch the Raft in action!

At 32.5” long and a maximum width of 9.9”, this maverick is more like a white-water raft than a dinghy. Featuring artwork by Jordy Garcia Paredes that highlights a blue dyed veneer, every deck has a one-of-a-kind look. The Raft has a subtle taper and big width, matched with a nice, mellow, tub concave to give you lots of foot space and provide added confidence and comfort. The setup is 130mm Polar Bear traditional kingpin trucks and 63mm Fatty Hawgs. Combined with half inch risers for phenomenal wheel clearance, this board adds confidence and flow to your riding style and is secretly a mega carver disguised as an old-school street skate. Cruising has never been livelier than with this beast.

Trucks

Wheels

We design our trucks and wheels to fit perfectly with each individual deck. We work tirelessly to ensure these elements come together to provide the best control and performance for your board. No slop, all control. Don't accept anything less than the perfect complete.   Learn More >

Flex Rating

Flex has a big impact on the overall feel of your board and is influenced by a bunch of different factors. The main ones being thickness of the deck, it's wheelbase and rider weight. To put the equation in laymans terms: more flex occurs when you decrease thickness of the deck, increase the wheelbase and increase rider weight. The more flex in your board the more carvy and agile it'll feel, less flex means it's more stable and suited for faster skating. We test every complete with a device we built in house, specifically to standardize flex ratings.

Raft Messenger

Great cruiser…this set up is super smooth and has the ability to really carve it up. Its capable and well constructed.

It’s definitely the board I would grab for a day of cruising around.

Super Fun!

This board brings me back to the late 80s when I was ripping my college campus. My favorite Landyachtz board so far. I traded out the 63mm fatty Hawgs for the 63 mm Doozies. Love the surf style feel and the carving with the Doozies is fantastic. A bit top heavy on the front but that's fine its not a nose rider. This board works great on the streets and some nice hills. Love it!!
