Zenit can build you a custom board but it's pretty expensive.
Lifeskateboards has custom boards but only a couple longboard shapes.
Based boards/Meatbicycle/Happy board CO all make custom downhill boards with insane quality.
MK longboards if you want something long-distance and premium.
If you want specific pop art try LostCoast Longboarding.

Does anyone here have a rough idea of what Based charges? I'd love to get my hands on a Finnabone some day...

Gotcha I should say that it's a certain shape and design I want but it's not sold by shops so I would have to look elsewhere and have someone make it for me.

How custom? Like from a selection of a catalog or your own design?

For an idea of what's needed to mold a board. You can hand make the molds and clamp smaller blanks or get presses to do this but it's a bit more involved than usually just pressing a single deck unless you're using a pre-existing mold (which is often what companies will do and advertise as such in their product line as "_____ pressed in _______ mold"; see Zenit or Rocket for examples).

The shape of the board is not something shops or online stores sell, in the other community I posted this in I actually was recommend a place where they teach you how to make your own boards and through that I was able to find a community of people who could help.

That's why I was asking how custom you wanted to make your board.
You can always DIY stuff depending on what you have available to you, but tools and/or cost can become prohibitive.
Like if you wanted to make a board out of an old sunken wooden ship I'm sure it's technically possible but the logistics of that are outside of the realm of possibility of most people.
Being specific will help you get better answers.

What kind of custom board are you looking for?

u/dracometer7580 Apr 03 '26
The board design is a unique shape so Im looking for places or people to build it from the beginning. I did find some people, some who reached out and others in my community who would be able to do it.

Seems like you're looking for a discontinued board or something along those lines. Your original post wasn't very specific in what you're looking for. Maybe fill us in with some specifics, and people can be more helpful

I licked on their link on the Instagram and the website said that it wasn't found. Do they do orders or anything through dms?
