Psyop Skateboards was an idea I had in 2015. I wished to be able to make a board in Texas with products sourced within the United States. I was frustrated with the direction the quality of skateboards have gone. I wished for a board that had the same attitude, quality, and style as the ones I grew up with when I started skateboarding in the 90s. I decided in late 2018 that I was going to start building a press with some scrap metal, a bit of wood, a jigsaw, and a drill. From there I slowly accumulated new equipment, and a better understanding of th eprocess.
Psyop Skateboards is operated in a woodshop behind my house, and not some huge factory. Psyop is about creating the best skateboard I can, and going against the grain of the current industry. This is not a massive operation, just a guy in his woodshop trying to do what he thinks is rad. If you think it's rad too, try one out.
Cheers-
