Abstract: A skateboard deck that has a reduced weight, improved strength, and is, overall, more resilient. The addition of composite laminate layers improves the strength and performance of the skateboard. A composite layer may include carbon fiber layers, which are used to reduce the weight and thickness of the skateboard, while increasing the resilience and strength. Layered, high-strength tipfills and layered side edges may prevent chipping and delamination. The composite layers may inlay into the tipfills and side edges, allowing for protection of the composite layers. The tipfills and side edges protect the various other layers and prevent normal wear from abrasion, chipping, and delamination of the deck.
