At ASR this year I ran into a company called BambooSk8 and they gave me one of their decks. Honestly, it better than just about every other deck on the market. It's super light and strong. I usually break decks in about a month but I've had my bamboo sk8 deck for about two months now and it is still intact and as poppy as day one.</p> I am so stoked bamboo is beginning to take off in the skate world.

I'm definitely looking to make my company very enviro-friendly with organic apparel, using non toxic water based paints, and switching to bamboo or other sustainable materials for longboards.Does anyone have any links or info on companies who do wholesale for cheaper than $80/deck or even sells the materials to press your own decks? Also a company on the east coast so we don't contribute to more transport emissions shipping them. Thanks! Peep my site if you wana check out Board Luv work... http://boardluv.synthasite.com</p> I am the owner of Board Luv, a artistic company that does custom art work on boards.

Both are holding up really well. They are a little bit stiffer. I didn't notice a weight difference. Maybe I got different ones or something. Mine is 1 ply bamboo - 5 plys maple - 1 ply bamboo. That's 20% renewable. Multiply that by the amount of boards are sold per year. I don't know how many decks you get out of a maple tree, but slowing down the rate of those guys coming down is all good with me. Maybe it'll make guitars cheaper or something. Anyway, I'd like to find more of these boards and am having a hard time doing so. If anybody knows where I can get my hands on some, let me know.
