High-Tech Longboard Skateboard Deck

Dissent decks are the Fastest, Lightest, most Responsive longboard/skateboard decks in the world.

Our decks are perfect for all types of skating maneuvers like carving, cruising, racing, freeride, sliding, or long distance. It's an all-around perfect deck for beginner to pro level.

Here at Oust, we decided to develop the fastest, lightest, most responsive skateboard deck that would not only set new high standards for deck manufacturing, but monumentally push the sport into greater heights of speeds and maneuverability.

This is why we call our skateboards Dissent.

We went outside conventional skateboard manufacturing and standard materials, and built the best longboard deck that is made in the USA. We chose materials that would make the skateboard feel alive and performs in ways that are unimaginable.

All the woods we use are quarter sawn because it is known to have better properties as far as straightness, strength and flexibility, which also works better in the carbon fiber to wood adhesion process.

Each deck veneer is measured carefully with calipers to insure proper tolerances to ensure a perfectly balanced deck from top to bottom. This achieves peak performance from the wood, which greatly reduces high frequency speed wobbles.

We use a special aerospace resin that is weighed and balanced. Our resin has a very high tensile strength and flexural strength that allows for infinite flexing that other resins we've tested could not do.

The carbon fiber plies are saturated to the exact carbon to resin content of 60/40. This is done to assure the maximum strength, flexibility, and recovery time, from each layer to achieve maximum performance from the finished longboard.

There are different grades of carbon fiber-- Commercial, Industrial, and Aerospace grade. Commercial grade, or 33MSI fiber is usually woven and has the least Tensile strength. Industrial grade, or 35MSI is also mostly found in woven cloth.
Aerospace grade, 41-70 MSI, can be found in woven but mostly unidirectional fiber.
The benefit is that you can use less material to achieve a stiffer and lighter structure. With woven material the strength obtained from warp is minimal.
Unidirectional material strength is the same in all directions. This is why Oust has chosen Aerospace grade unidirectional material.
With this grade we can also change our carbon fiber ply angles to achieve more structural integrity for specific performance needs or desired results.

Although some resin is lost while in the press, the balance between carbon fiber and resin is still maintained in the skateboard deck.

After the press, the blank deck is placed in to the CNC router fixture and is flattened so the truck mounting holes are perpendicular to the wood surface. Once secure, truck mounting holes are drilled to specific dimensions or wheel base length.

We cut our decks using a CNC router, rather than by hand, so the shape is completely symmetrical, and ensures the trucks are mounted completely center. When decks are cut by hand, there is room for error which can result in off center truck mounting holes.

Once the deck shape has been cut out, the now square rails or edges are sanded smooth in preparation for the radius that is put onto the rails with a hand router. This process can only be done by hand.

Before sanding the deck, we counter sink the truck holes, so the bolt's head sits flush with the deck surface.

The finish sanding starts with a 100 grit paper and finishes out with a 320 grit paper. This ensures a proper surface or tooth for the sealer and extremely tough polyurethane surface coat adhere properly.

Several thin coats of a protective finish are each dried and color sanded to keep the protective coating at minimum thickness. It also makes the surface coating more resistant to abuse.
The finish on the Dissent Decks is what you would expect to see on a really expensive exotic car. It also protects the deck from the elements, and abuse while maintaining infinite flex and quick response time.

What you now have is a longboard that is:
1. Balanced by using the quarter-sawn wood and symmetrical centered shape.
2. Aerospace carbon fiber for maximum performance in power flexibility, and response time.
3. Laminated with specially blended resin to allow for infinite flexing without delamination.
4. A durable surface coating that preserves the artistry and craftsmanship from abuse.
