Maki Longboards have recently released this video, Behind the Scenes with Maki Longboards.
It follows the company's founder Eric Maki and the shaping process that goes into these unique surf-style skateboards at his factory in El Segundo, California.
Says Maki: "I'm taking surfboard building techniques from foam and applying them to wood. That's what really makes these boards stand out. [...] I wanted a skateboard that felt and rode like a surfboard."
Alongside this innovation, Maki also strives to have the least environmental impact possible using only wood from sustainable sources and bio-resin for the finish.
