This is not an easy question to answer, as almost every other board is constructed from materials for specific reasons. Here is a list of the common materials eSk8 decks are made out of:
• Aluminum
• Bamboo
• Fiberglass
• Canadian Maplewood
Sometimes, manufacturers combine these materials together to make an even sturdier deck. Boards made from aluminum are “faster” boards, due to aluminum’s light (but strong) weight. By comparison, boards made from 2 parts Maplewood to 7 parts Bamboo are understandably heavier.
