A Partnership Rooted in California Craftsmanship There's something special about coming full circle in business, and that's exactly what's happening here at BIRCH. Today, I'm excited to announce that we're partnering with Don Sandusky and Hamboards to manufacture their iconic 74” Classic longboards right here in Southern California – bringing these legendary boards back to their roots.

It’s disappointing, especially because their unique geometry played such a big role in the feel we were aiming for. That said, the journey doesn’t stop here. We’re already...
