About Us

The Nitty Gritty

We make longboards for Midwest longboarders, because that’s what we are, and that’s who we care about…

Ok ok ok—we took that from Tommy Boy. Regardless…

We are longboarders. We know what makes a good board. Our mission is to make the best longboards ever made. ever.

Customer Service

We’re a txt msg away…

Our team is small and close-knit. This contrasts sharply with big-box manufacturers, where employee population is often well over a thousand. Our three owners, Bryan, John, and Adam, are only a phone call away. If you have a question, a problem, want to go skate, grab coffee, or get a drink, call us directly! We don’t have a hold system featuring elevator music (unless you count Bryan’s Gettin’ Jiggy wit It ringback tone).

High-Quality

Handmade, not Homemade…

Our longboards are handcrafted locally by Bryan and John. But don’t be fooled; handmade does not mean low-quality. On the contrary, our dedication to educated design and precision manufacturing is borderline obsessive compulsive. In addition, we put more TLC into these boards than any machine can. Ask anyone—these boards are tough, tuned, and built for performance.

Why Longboards?

Friends, Family, Love, & Addiction…

Since their infanthood, Bryan, John, and Adam have spent their winters snowboarding; snow is a part of Minnesota life for nine months each year (maybe ten?). They started experimenting with green circles, quickly started doing blue squares, and inevitably ended up on the hard stuff: black diamonds.

How does a snowboard junkie get their fix during the summer? Longboarding!
