Deck Info
MAPLE
Our decks are made of 7-ply 100% hard rock Canadian Maple. Medium concave. 31.5 inches long.
These are truly the best boards we can manufacture.
BAMBOO
7-Ply
Medium Concave
Length of deck ranges 31-33 inches
Why Bamboo?
- Bamboo decks are stronger than traditional decks. They keep their pop longer and are great for all kinds of skating. They are eco-friendly and durable.
- Grown and harvested from sustainable, managed bamboo forests — far from wild or protected panda communities.
- Bamboo boards help reduce deforestation since bamboo grows up to two feet a day.
- Bamboo skateboards are lighter and stronger than traditional decks. So, you get more “pop” when performing tricks and refining your skills.
- Bamboo absorbs impact better than your average deck. Your naturally shock-absorbent bamboo skateboard will resist cracking and provide top performance longer.
Pro Shape
Pro Deck shapes were custom-made by Professor Paul Schmitt at the PS Stix woodshop. Paul is one of the best skateboard makers in the world.
Manuel "Mogely" Herrera's Shape: 8” wide 14 ¼” Wheelbase 7” Nose 6 ¾” Tail = 32 ¼” in surface length
"The shape is flat and doesn't have steep concave, which is where I feel most comfortable" - Manuel "Mogely" Herrera
They showed me what they were riding, what they had liked in the past and we talked about what they liked and how they wanted their individual boards to perform and then we made modifications according to their feedback loop.
These number may look insignificant to you but if you try them with this knowledge you can find out what is right for you." - Professor Paul Schmitt, PS Stix
Our Purpose
Our purpose here at Braille Skateboarding is to inspire, motivate and teach the world to skateboard. We believe that anyone can and should skateboard regardless of age, color, body shape or size.
Here at Braille we want everyone to feel like they can progress on their board and learn to skate! That’s the basis that Braille is built off of and we won’t stop until skateboarding is the most popular sport in the
world...
