How are Merlin Skateboards decks made?

Each board is handcrafted in our workshop in south-west France. Pressing, cutting, sanding and finishing are carried out with the same level of care to ensure consistent quality.

Are the decks designed to be ridden?

Yes. All Merlin Skateboards decks, including marquetry creations, are designed to be ridden. Whether you choose to ride them daily, display them as decorative pieces, or give them both lives is entirely up to you.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. Merlin Skateboards ships its creations throughout France and internationally. Each board is carefully prepared and protected before shipping to ensure it reaches you in the best possible condition.

Can I create a fully custom board?

Yes. We design fully custom skateboards, surfskates, cruisers and mini cruisers. Shape, dimensions, wood species or finishes: each board is handcrafted in our workshop to match your vision.

The Popsicle 8.3" is a versatile deck, designed for riders looking for a balanced and maneuverable board, equally at home in street and park. Its classic shape provides good control for tricks and precise handling across different skateboarding disciplines.

This creation is made using contemporary marquetry in the Merlin Skateboards workshop. Its pattern is based on a cutting process that allows the elements removed when creating one board to be reused to compose the complementary design of its mirror board. The two pieces therefore feature an inverted composition, while each retaining its own identity.

Designed to be ridden, this creation can also be chosen as a display piece, either on its own or paired with its complementary board.

Handcrafted in France.
