Unique Holiday Gift Idea: Custom Painted Skate Decks by Local Artist Laura Jurkowski

As the holiday season approaches, the search for the perfect gift can feel daunting.

These remarkable skate decks are made from high-quality 7-ply Canadian maple. This material is renowned for its strength and durability, which means that your gift is not only a stunning piece of art but also a reliable skateboard that can withstand daily use. In fact, Canadian maple provides a solid support for skaters, as it can hold over 200 pounds without breaking. What better way to celebrate art and sport than with a deck uniquely designed to reflect the interests of your loved one?


Laura's work is special because she creates each skate deck on a commission basis. This allows you to customize the artwork to match the recipient's personality. Whether it’s a beloved color palette, a significant logo, or a favorite animal, Laura collaborates with you to bring your vision to life. Each design is a one-of-a-kind creation, making it a truly cherished gift.

Once she completes the artwork, Laura applies a UV protectant polyurethane finish. This layer not only enhances the vibrant colors but also protects the deck from fading due to sunlight and harsh weather conditions. According to a study, using UV protectant can increase the lifespan of custom art pieces by up to 50%. This means you are gifting a deck that is both visually striking and practical, ready for outdoor use.


It's important to know that these skate decks do not include trucks or grip tape, allowing the owner to customize their setup to perfectly fit their style and preference. This feature ensures that each skateboard remains a true reflection of the rider, adding an extra layer of personalization.


So, how can you order one of these custom masterpieces? It’s simple! Visit www.moondoggy.org and fill out the commission form request. Laura will get back to you with a detailed quote and timeframe for completion, making the ordering process straightforward and enjoyable.
