Comet Skateboards

Comet Skateboards is the leading manufacturer of high performance green composite skateboards. We use a unique blend of regionally sourced materials that result in strong, light skateboards. By purchasing our raw materials regionally, we contribute to a vibrant local living economy and do not create excess pollution by shipping materials all over the world. All Comet skateboards are powered by proprietary high-performance e2e biocomposite technology (patents pending), provided by the innovative Ithaca-based company e2e Materials. Comet Skateboards has exclusive use of e2e biocomposites for skateboards. Our skateboards are made with paints and adhesives that do not off-gas harmful chemicals. Comet skateboards last as long and in many cases longer than any skateboard on the market and when they have been shredded to the end they will safely turn back into fertile dirt. Since our materials are ecologically safe, our scraps can fertilize gardens, heat homes, make banging bonfires, serve as media for works of art, etc.

Loaded Bamboo Boards

Loaded Boards and Bamboo

Our design philosophy is simple: engineer the boards so that the decks and trucks interact to create a synergistic carving system. We therefore design our boards around the trucks. It’s a great time for skateboard design with all kinds of cool trucks being developed, and we intend to build decks around all the ones that we enjoy riding.

For our current skate deck lineup, our construction combines the best of snowboard materials technology and skateboard inspired design: Concave and convex cambers, a vertically laminated Bamboo core, triaxle fiberglass, and a functional and symmetrical shape combine to achieve lively composite boards designed to skate bigger hills with enhanced
control. Form follows function, and while we hope you'll find them attractive, these boards are designed to ride.

Core: Vertically laminated Bamboo micro laminates.

Vertical laminates: increase stiffness exponentially and retain spring.

Micro-laminates: diminish natural flaws in the wood enhance torsional stiffness allowing for torsional spring-back allows for the compound contours of the board.

Extensive testing of various woods has led to Bamboo: One of the best woods found in nature, providing awesome and lasting elasticity/spring, and incredible memory retention. Much heavier than a traditional Poplar or Aspen snowboard core--necessary
for proper energy generation off two points of contact
(the trucks), and will retain spring perhaps forever.

Heavyweight Tri-axle fiberglass sandwich:
Strong & durable. Feather light. Consistent flex.
Diagonal and longitudinal axis glass fiber weave for lengthwise and torsional strength and stiffness.

Specially formulated Epoxy for flex and strength.
Memory retention

Carbon Fiber: Super strong· Feather light.
We use carbon to reinforce weak areas and will use stringers to stiffen our snowboards.
