New Board Company, Small but Growing!

**Denali Longboards** · 06-01-2009 07:27 PM

DenAli boards is the company name, and were from Mukilteo Washington! You can visit us at DenAliboards.com. We are small, but growing like the title said. Right now I only have one board out and its a concave/cambered deck made with laminates of birch and bi-axial fiberglass. The boards are very nice and you choose what color you want the stain and logo color to be. Help support both local board shops, and new board companies! give me feedback on the website and tell me what you like and what you dont like, with DenAli Boards, the possibilities are ENDLESS!

Not to bust your bubble, but birch and stain aren't the best combo. It is achievable but it takes time

you need some more pictures of your board, just a top view isn't enough. Show a few different angles for each board model so that we can see concave, camber, thickness, graphics... whatever else

what kind of hardwhere is that???

**SensesFail99** · 06-10-2009 11:22 PM

I think what your doing is great and I think you got something there.

but. . . .why are you selling fingerless slide gloves?

keep up the good work with the board though.
some more pics on the web page would be nice

**Blix** · 06-11-2009 03:11 AM

Denali, you seriously need some better photos of your decks, looks like cell phone photos you got there... That`s not going to sell decks.

Schmoose, fingerless sliding gloves are awesome on hot days.

Birch is out the window, basically, from here on out, its all about maple and fiberglass. Maybe some day ill be able to manufacture bamboo boards, but there arent many suppliers.

good thinking on the birch out the window, it breaks pretty easy too.

Please get some more pics on the site. I think that is very important. (not with a cell phone either)

Best of luck to you!

Ok so they sell 1/8 of an inch bamboo, would I be able to press that into steep concave with a vacuum bag? But I found a good supplier for bamboo guys, so that is in the works. I recently made a drop deck deck out of maple and fiberglass, and I love it. Its got a subtle 1 inch drop, and 7/8" concave!!!!! its insane! Ill have to post pictures as soon as I can, but Ill keep you guys updated. Sorry I havent been on in a while, but thanks for all the support! =]

With the 1/8" bamboo you can get a steep concave but you need to pre-glass in places where the bamboo is prone to splitting before pressing. Also, I was there earlier in the week to pick up my latest order and they were running very low on 1/8". So low in fact that I rejected half of what they had set aside for me because of what bad shape it was in, no more expected for 2-3 months.

Ouch thanks for the info. Well, Ill have to turn to my other company for now. I found a company that charges 5$ per 1/16 laminate. Not a bad deal. When you say pre glass, do you mean sandwhich the bamboo between 2 fiberglass lams., let it cure, then bag it?

**Denali Longboards** · 01-19-2010 10:15 PM

Heres my newest deck...It's a drop down deck. Its got a 1 inch drop, with a whopping 1 inch of concave, and its constructed of bi axial fiberglass and maple. It feels absolutely amazing sofar =]

I like the idea man, and I'd be proud to support a local company. If you'd like, I'd be willing to do some photography for you and your site. I'm up at WWU in B-ham but could drive down pretty much any weekend. Check out my gallery and let me know what you think. Looking forward to checking out your boards as well.

I know this is a dumb question and statement but here goes. Thanks for the offer, but for now I have things that are pretty high up on the priority list and photography is kinda far down

For now, my 7.3 mp camera and my photoshopping abilities will work just fine

But many thanks for the offer and I liked your DA page
