Plank Skateboards™
A Limited Liability Corporation.

Welcome to Plank Skateboards^™, a small owner operated company based in San Francisco, California, USA, whose roots go back to designing and hand shaping hardwood decks in the mid 70’s. These are not the usual plywood or butcher block boards being made by others. Every PLANK is a unique 3-layered hardwood deck assembled with different patterns and woods, all in their beautiful natural colors, using the highest quality of materials and craftsmanship. The 3-layers are pressed together resulting in a modest rocker. The Plank logo is heat branded into each board. All boards are designed and hand shaped in small batches by the owner and artist David Troxel. Boards are individually priced based on the woods used and the number of laminations.  Current deck sizes include 48”, 36” and 24” in various styles.

Plank Boards are also available for sale and demo at the best longboard shop around- the Purple Skunk Skate shop right here in San Francisco. www.purpleskunk.com

Plank gets reviewed by Silverfishlongboarding.com at the ASR show. Here's what they say about us " Plank Skateboards is a start-up company that is responsible for some of the most beautiful, period-correct, hand-laid skateboards I have seen in quite a while. They feature exotic hardwoods, both horizontally and vertically laminated, and smooth rockers for that true-surfboard look and feel. Each one is truly a work of art."
