Who We Are
At Deviate Board Co., we exist at the intersection of two powerful influences: the resilience of New York surf culture and the timeless pursuit of exceptional craftsmanship. Our New York surfing roots teach us to find beauty in imperfection—to celebrate knee-high waves with the same enthusiasm as perfect barrels and to adapt to ever-changing conditions. This persistent, authentic ethos flows directly into our longboard design, while our commitment to "extreme craftsmanship" stands as our rebellion against mass production and disposable consumption economy.
Each board is meticulously handcrafted in our Brooklyn workshop with an uncompromising dedication to detail—selecting every piece of wood, shaping every curve, and finishing every surface with intention. The result is more than just a ride; it's an experience that connects concrete to ocean, translating the fluid grace of surfing to urban terrain. Whether carving down city streets or displayed as functional art, our boards carry both the soul of New York surf culture and our passionate pursuit of the perfect build—creating longboards that don't just perform but inspire something deeper.
