Don't just take my word on it.

A little about me

Who am I? I am Dmitri Komarov and I am many things. But most importantly I am a custom longboard builder. Now... I know what you're thinking so let me clear a few things up: I build skateboards not surfboards, I live in Canada not California, my city is full of pine trees not palm trees, and I smoke cigarettes not cannabis.


To me, a longboard is an absolutely ingenious contraption. Simple yet versatile, straightforward yet complex. Since the moment I stepped onto my first longboard I have been fascinated by its construction. For me riding is just half the fun.


I study engineering at Concordia University and building things has been a life-long obsession for me. I've built more things than I can count; my longboard business is just one visible symptom of my addiction to making stuff.


I also love teaching others. Unlike the companies, I have never made my board-building methods a secret. I share my knowledge with anyone who wants to learn and I have made many how-to videos about longboard building. If you're interested in board-building, check out my Vimeo. There, you will find many videos by me: some about longboard building, others about longboarding, and blah blah blah blah. And, as I said on my homepage, don't be shy to contact me in person. I'm a human being, not some company CEO. Add me on facebook and join my DKLB group; there you will find hundreds of photos along with dozens of happy DKLB customers.


As long as you like to ride boards you're my friend.
