Not Really Skateboards is not your traditional skateboard company. Our focus is on creating custom hand-painted artwork on skate decks. We’ve always been drawn to the artistic side of skateboarding and see it as one of the most accessible mediums for sharing artwork with the world.

For us, art is not something to be kept in a gallery or museum. Instead, we believe that it should be a natural and integral part of everyday life. Skateboards are a perfect medium for this purpose, as they offer a unique canvas that can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere. By combining the physicality and creativity of skateboarding with beautiful artwork, we aim to create an experience that is truly special.

We are proud to offer a different kind of skateboard brand, one that prioritizes art and creativity above all else. Whether you’re an experienced skater or just appreciate great artwork, we believe that our skate decks offer something truly unique and memorable.

Thank you for considering Not Really Skateboards for your next skateboard purchase. We look forward to sharing our art and passion with you.
