Based in Chicago, the company '31 & Change' creates wood longboards that are quite different from most.
Longboarding has become a popular method of transportation and seems to be taking over skateboarding as a hobby. While most longboards are made from carefully carved and painted plywood, these wood longboards look like tree stumps. The unusual designs are made entirely from wood and feature smoothed-out pieces of hardwood that retain some of their natural shape. While it is unclear how the boards' aerodynamics are affected with these asymmetric wooden slabs, the boards offer an uncommon and beautiful design.
For people who enjoy the practice of longboarding and would like to add to their collection, these wooden longboards are an excellent choice.
