Simple answer is “all of them” – Deviate Longboards are designed to be ridden by anyone. The “right board” is determined by your intended riding style, experience and comfort riding a longboard. All of our longboards are designed for cruising and carving (essentially surfing the streets) with variations in shape and size to meet the needs, style and abilities of most longboarders.
Whether you are looking for a traditional longboard skateboard, a cruiser skateboard, a mini longboard cruiser, a cruising longboard, a surf trainer, a nose rider or an all around board, we have a board to fit your needs. Check out our blog on selecting the right longboard.
If you still have questions, reach out to us at hello@deviateboardco.com, we are happy to help with your questions and longboard selection.
Yes! Each board is shipped as a complete longboard fully set-up with trucks and wheels and ready to cruise. Grab your safety gear and get out and have fun!
Deviate Longboards are handmade in the Brooklyn, NY using hand selected furniture grade hardwood. All of our longboards are old-school flat deck longboard designs making them super comfortable to ride. No kick-tails, concave, etc. Each longboard is constructed from solid wood using vertical lamination construction resulting in a stable longboard perfect for cruising and free riding. The combination of our designs, quality materials and craftsmanship create a soulful and fun longboard experience.
We are inspired by our surfing roots and set-out to design longboards that provide the feeling of riding old-school longboard surfboards with the benefit of modern trucks, wheels and bearings. The flat decks are easy to push and cruise on, providing lots of room to maneuver your feet on the board to make turns and do showy tricks, just like old school longboarders!
Deviate longboards are solid wooden longboards which means they are slightly heavier than pressed decks. The added weight translates into mass and speed when you are pushing your longboard. This means less pushing to get the board going and maintain speed while cruising around. More time to glide and carve!

Yes. If you are in the neighborhood and want to swing by, you are welcome, just ask for James. Please don’t wonder onto the shop floor without permission as this is a manufacturing facility, not a store front. We are generally around on week days between 9am and 4pm. If there are Deviate longboards out front, its a good sign we are around and ready to cruise. If there are no Deviate longboards out front we may be out picking up materials, making deliveries, longboarding or catching some waves. All work and no play makes for a dull life.
