We are incredibly stoked to release our newest 4th generation bamboo skateboard. All of the testing over the past 6 months has revealed this to be the very best quality bamboo deck yet featuring new design layout, more concave and incredible POP. Website will be updated soon to reflect the availability of decks and graphic decks, which includes a new Sutsu Owl&Cat short deck graphic and a 44″ pintail Quatzelcoatal graphic. We think these are the best skateboards in the world based on strength, pop, sustainability and price. Let us know what you think!

BambooSK8 history

We all know Rome wasn’t built overnight. The same goes for BambooSK8. For the past few years, we’ve devoted our attention to producing the best possible bamboo skateboard on the market that is up to the standard of the average pro skateboard out there. Reality is – if it isn’t, then why even bother trying to compete in the market. Nonetheless, you have to start somewhere…and for us, that start was a few years ago. It was our intent to change the market from 100% maple to 100% bamboo skateboards; a lofty goal. While the 100%’s were pretty awesome at one time, in terms of the strength and durability, they were too flat for the average consumer who needed a deeper concave. Unfortunately, for as cool as bamboo is as a natural resource, it does have its limitations in terms of how far you can bend it. The result of too much bending is a surface crack at the point of flux running left to right. The same holds true for maple though when bending it too far as well. It’s just inherent in natural resources being pushed beyond their natural limits. Anyhow, so that left us over time working on other mixes, different glues, different pressing techniques, different press times, etc. Fast forward to 2011 and here we are today with a deck that is 70% bamboo by content. That’s 70% more than the 100% maple, which is a step in the right direction. This deck shape with the concave pleases a significant portion of the skaters who skate the decks…that’s why we have so many repeat customers. We don’t claim that it will please everyone as a deck purchase is a personal choice based on your style of skating and preferences (concave, wheelbase, shape, etc.). We hope that for you who are reading this can see that our best intentions are towards the environment and taking small steps in the right direction; we’ve only got 1 planet folks – let’s take care of it and each other! For those who choose to skate a bambooSK8 deck, we appreciate you! See fan testimonials at www.bamboosk8.com/fans

positive feedback about the quality of our skateboards
Tuesday, April 27th, 2010Every day, we receive feedback from fans on our bamboo skateboard decks who submit their feedback via our online dealer feedback form: http://www.bamboosk8.com/dealers/dealers-feedback.php
Here’s an example from 4/24:
What style and level of skater skated the deck? Street skater and intermediate
How was the POP? The pop was excellent! I popped my highest ollie on the Bamboo deck.
How was the razer tail? The tail has not shedded a layer yet.
How long did the deck last? I am currently skating the same deck after 3 weeks.
How was the performance overall? Overall the deck is great and I am performing tricks I could barely land on a maple deck.
Would you give a thumbs up to these decks? If not, Why? Yes!
Here’s another example from 4/23:
What style and level of skater skated the deck? Well, I’m a decent street skater, and a pretty tough ramp skater. I skate mostly stairs and ledges, steering away from rails.
How was the POP? The pop was…well…weird. It’s hard to explain. Let’s just say, Bamboo gives POP a whole new meaning. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to maple…
How was the razer tail? The razor tail was not bad at all. I broke my bamboo deck before I could get too bad of razor tail.
How long did the deck last? Actually, the deck itself outlasted my spitfire classics…so as you can imagine, these boards stand the test of shred
How was the performance overall? I’m an avid skater, and you can’t really tell, being that it was a bamboosk8 blank (you couldn’t see the scratch marks on the bottom). The only wear you could see were some scuff marks and a little razor tail. I usually get major razor tail, scratched up graphic, and chipped everywhere…but with bamboo, everything is peaceful.
Would you give a thumbs up to these decks? If not, Why? I want you to imagine the episode of “MINUTE TO WIN IT”, where the guy had to stack three golf balls on top of each other…Remember how many divits and dimples the golf balls had? That many thumbs up. =]
