One Board One Tree

To give back to the environment we have decided that for every skateboard we sell, we plant a tree. One tree produces at least 60 boards. So with our program, one tree will turn into at least 60 new trees planted.

100% Canadian Maple

Canadian Maple is a strong and proven material used in the world’s best skateboards. We source only the finest veneers found in Eastern Canada.

DEEP CAVE

Concave designed to really lock your feet in while adding responsiveness and control.

Kicktail

Take your skating into the third dimension with a kicktail. We design our kicktails to work perfectly with each deck shape as well as with the truck and wheel setup on each complete.

SANDED WHEEL WELLS

Wheel wells reduce the risk of wheel-bite by increasing the gap between wheels and deck. Sanded or CNC’d wheel wells both allow for larger wheels or looser trucks, if desired.

WET FIBERGLASS

2 layers of Wet Glass are laid to add strength and produce a lively ‘snappy’ flex pattern that stands the test of time, as does it's pop.

Watch the Ditch Life Dark Wave in action

Team Rider Mackenzie Yoshida is most at home on his skateboard riding the gnarly concrete ditches that seem to be everywhere on his home island of Oahu. The terrain he skates isn't for the faint of heart and the design of this board reflects that. At 31″ long by 9.75″ wide it has some extra width to add the confidence and stability that you need to ride away from tricks on big obstacles. Aggressive concave and a steep tail work to keep you locked in no matter what the spot throws at you. This board features our new ATV-X construction which introduces two composite plies to improve pop and durability. This board comes complete with Polar Bear 155mm trucks to perfectly match the width of the board and provide the ideal blend of stability and maneuverability and is finished off with a set of 60mm 78a Lil EZ Hawgs wheels to keep the weight down and roll speed up.

Trucks

Wheels

We design our trucks and wheels to fit perfectly with each individual deck. We work tirelessly to ensure these elements come together to provide the best control and performance for your board. No slop, all control. Don't accept anything less than the perfect complete.   Learn More >

Flex Rating

Flex has a big impact on the overall feel of your board and is influenced by a bunch of different factors. The main ones being thickness of the deck, it's wheelbase and rider weight. To put the equation in laymans terms: more flex occurs when you decrease thickness of the deck, increase the wheelbase and increase rider weight. The more flex in your board the more carvy and agile it'll feel, less flex means it's more stable and suited for faster skating. We test every complete with a device we built in house, specifically to standardize flex ratings.

Exactly what I was looking for!

Just starting to skate at 43 years old. Wanted something to cruise around on while my kids skate too. This is perfect for me. Wide enough that I feel stable. Rolls smooth on concrete and asphalt. Small twigs and pebbles are no obstacle. Turns easy as well. Really happy with this purchase!!!

Dark Wave Deck

I have now bought 3 Dark Wave decks for my surf skatebord and pumptrack set ups. Love the classic Birdhouse Artifact 80's shape, but bigger. Super carvey, and responsive to all input. I can just cruise anywhere on these boards.

So much fun

I picked up this board to get back into skating after a 20 year hiatus, and let me say that I love this board. It is so much fun. It motivates me to get out there again and again. It might not be ideal for the most technical tricks, but it's super versatile. You can take it to the park or just turn any terrain into a skate session. I'm also super impressed with the build quality.

I’ll Never DITCH This Board!!

Found out about LandYachtz 3 months before getting this board. I was originally going to get this deck for my little brother as a starter deck since he was getting into skating. I knew it probably wasn’t the best board for him to start in but he LOVED the size, shape, and art. He wasn’t wrong… the board is a GEM!

We’re from LA and our neighborhood doesn’t have ditches but the streets and mellow hills in our area make this board such a fun time. EZ Hawgs make it so easy to slide. After trying it out and breaking it in, I can manage some pretty gnarly slides - just gotta teach the lil bro and I’m sure he’ll learn to love the board that much more. Other than that, board is great for carving, pumping - it came pretty loose in terms of the trucks so I tightened them a bit for my little brother to have more stability, eventually I reverted back to how it was initially so he can get more movement out if his carves and he loves it as it was. The board’s huge width and shape compared to other decks make much more easy to handle and with more foot space. I wouldn’t know how to judge the fiberglass (ATV-X Series) since I haven’t tried decks without it but I will say poppin ollies is smooth and doable. Since it is in the bigger side of boards it can take a while to get used to but definitely an amazing quality board - LY DOES NOT MISS!

That said, he noticed he wanted more of a cruiser so after giving it some thought, I think this board has just as much or possibly even more potential…

Big shoes, no problem

It sits nicely between my dinghy blunt and drop cat 38. I wear a size 13 shoe and, as a newer skater, was hoping for a top-mount that I could feel more stable on, and the ATV X absolutely is IT. I've been using this thing to tear across sketchy pavement and brick in streets and alleys in my part of St Louis and it's beefy enough to handle it and still agile enough to be a lot of fun. Highly recommended!
