Ryan Long Board Portfolio Northcutt
Jul 21, 2015
Initially started by my dad in 2005, we have been making 3 ply cherry long board skateboards. Since then he and I have worked together to make 6 long boards all unique in shape and size.
The 409Finished: 2010Length: 4’-9”Width: 11”Wood: CherryThis board was the first board I made on my own. The shape of the board was inspired by old style long board surf boards. The 409 was the ideal length for a hardwood board and rode beautifully
The Red DevilFinished: 2011Length: 32”Width: 10”Wood: CherryThe Red Devil was the second board I made. This board is significantly shorter than the others and was considered more of an experiment with using hardwood for a shorter board. The shape has a typical nose but has a sort of pinned tail. To say the least this board lives up to its name. Its scary to ride.
1957Finished: 2012Length: 5’-7”Width: 11”Wood: CherryIts rare to see a longboard longer than 4’, so the idea behind this board was to break that boundry. It stands as tall as I do and on the ground it looks like a surfboard straight from the early surf scene. This board was defiantly an experiment with how long a hardwood board can be without breaking. So far its held together but it bows a scary amount.
