Abstract
A corrugated skateboard deck and method of corrugating skateboard decks in the skateboard deck manufacturing process. The corrugated skateboard deck has elongated corrugations embossed into at least one of its top and bottom surfaces and generally extending between first and second ends of the skateboard deck. The elongated corrugations are made up of ridges and grooves which are pressure-formed in a method of corrugating the surfaces of skateboard decks. This method utilizes a high-density corrugated template to emboss corrugations under high pressures.

An improved skateboard deck comprising:
- an elongated, generally planar configuration having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a first elongated side edge between the first and second ends, a second elongated side edge between the first and second ends and opposite the first elongated side edge, a top surface, and a bottom surface, at least one of said top and bottom surfaces having a plurality of elongated corrugations between said first and second ends, said plurality of elongated corrugations comprising a plurality of ridges and grooves.
A method of corrugating skateboard decks in a skateboard deck manufacturing process, said method comprising the steps of:
- placing a high-density corrugated template between a top ply of a first set of wood plies and a bottom ply of a second set of wood plies, each of said first and second sets of wood plies prepared with a bonding agent in-between said wood plies;
- applying a pressure on said first and second sets of wood plies while said bonding agent sets;
- releasing said pressure;
- and
- removing said high-density corrugated template.
A method of corrugating skateboard decks in a skateboard deck manufacturing process, said method comprising the steps of:
- placing a high-density corrugated template on an outer ply of a set of wood plies, said set of wood plies prepared with a bonding agent in-between said wood plies;
- applying a pressure on said high-density corrugated template and said set of wood plies while said bonding agent sets;
- releasing said pressure;
- and
- removing said high-density corrugated template.
