Skimboard Made in USA
DB Skimboards was founded in 2003 by Richard Docter, Bryce Hermansen, Tim Mackey, and Isaac Thomas. They started out making flatland and longboard skimboards , but the company quickly grew, expanding from a small garage to a 2,000-square-foot warehouse. These guys worked nights and weekends, while attending college and graduating high school, while continuing to pursue their passion full-time. In 2010, the company relocated to its current 40,000-square-foot shop just south of Seattle, Washington. The company is now rider-owned and operated and dedicated to creating the best flatboards in the world.
A key advantage of DB Skimboards is their trademark Micro Concave. A slight side-by-side rocker that creates a bowling ball effect on the underside of the board. This slight concave surface allows the rider to spin and shuv smoothly and attack boxes or rails with more confidence.
It took years to find the perfect rocker profile for their Streamline boards. They tested and refined this profile to find the perfect blend of width and camber. Their rocker allows for maximum pop without sacrificing speed on the water or making the board difficult to launch.
The combination of Micro Concave + Continuous Rocker = 3D Rocker. The banana-shaped deck creates the perfect board for technical tricks, long rides, and easy slides. DB Skimboards are printed using a patented technique that guarantees accurate and long-lasting laminations. Ask around, their boards keep the concave rocker almost forever!
Standard Streamline skimboards are built with a rigid 5-ply hard maple core (3-ply for Flex and a more flexible core). They use a fully waterproof bonding agent during lamination and encase the core with a HPL top and bottom sheet. HPL is the best gliding surface they've found; it glides over sand, PVC rails and boxes, logs, shells, concrete, and pretty much anything you can think of! The board's topsheet is completely covered in EVA foam; this is the perfect surface for your feet, offering exceptional traction and cushioning and durable enough to survive the wear and tear of long sessions, UV rays, and saltwater.
