Custom Skateboards for the Holidays: The Gift Guide for Skaters, Artists & Everybody Else

Socks are fine. Gift cards are fine. But you know what nobody forgets? Unwrapping a custom skateboard with their own art, their name, or their dog's face printed edge to edge across the bottom. That's the gift that gets ridden, hung on the wall, and shown to every friend who walks through the door.

We've been skating for about 20 years and printing for more than a decade, and custom skateboards are hands down our favorite thing to make this time of year. Here's everything you need to know to get one designed, printed, and under the tree.

The quick answer

• What: a real maple skateboard deck with your design printed full color on the bottom. Skate it or hang it.
• Price: custom skateboard decks start at $72, or $79 with custom griptape on top.
• Minimums: none. Order one deck. Seriously, just one.
• Shipping: free on custom decks.
• The move: order early in the season so you're not sweating it the week before the holidays.

Why custom skateboards make the best holiday gift

A custom deck checks every box a great gift should:

• It's one of one. Nobody else on earth has that exact board.
• It works for any age. Little kids getting their first board, teens who skate every day, adults who skated in middle school and miss it.
• It works for non-skaters too. Skateboard decks are some of the coolest wall art around. Add a wall mount and it's ready to hang in a bedroom, office, or shop.
• It's personal without being cheesy. A kid's drawing, a family photo, a band logo, a pet portrait. You pick the vibe.

Holiday custom skateboard ideas

Stuck on what to put on the deck? Here's what people love giving:

• The kid-art deck. Scan your kid's drawing and turn it into their very own board. Grandparents lose their minds over this one.
• The pet portrait deck. Your dog, but radical.
• The name deck. Big, bold lettering with their name or nickname. Clean and classic.
• The photo deck. A favorite trip, a family photo, a spot they love to skate.
• The brand deck. Business owners: your logo on a deck is a killer gift for employees, clients, or the wall behind your register.
• The crew set. Matching decks for siblings, a skate crew, or a team. Our 3-deck bundle is $210, which comes out to $70 a board.

How to order a custom skateboard (it takes about five minutes)

1. Pick your options on the custom skateboard deck page: deck only, add griptape, add a wall mount, or grab the 3-pack.
2. Upload your artwork right at checkout. Photos, drawings, logos, whatever. Add notes if you want text or tweaks.
3. We check every file. A real designer looks at your art before it prints. If something needs fixing, we fix it and send you a digital proof to approve.
4. We print it and ship it, free.

Why we're the fastest way to get a custom deck for the holidays

A lot of places that make custom skateboards want a minimum order, a long email chain, or a quote before they'll even talk to you. We built ours to be the opposite:

• No minimums. One deck is a normal order here, not a favor.
• Order online in minutes. Pick options, upload art, check out. Done.
• We print it ourselves, quickly. No waiting in line behind a giant factory's queue. Your deck goes from proof to press to the mail fast.
• Free shipping on custom decks, so there's no surprise at checkout.

Ordering 10 or more for a shop, team, or event? Those are quoted by email and big runs usually need about four weeks or more, so if you want them before the holidays, reach out to us as early as you can.

Don't forget the griptape (and the stocking stuffers)

Want the top of the board to match? Custom griptape puts a design on top, too, and it's cheaper bundled with your deck. A few other gifts skaters love:

• Skate trick fridge magnets ($22): little skateboards that do kickflips on the fridge. Perfect stocking stuffer.
• Custom stickers: every skater's deck, helmet, and water bottle needs more stickers. Make some with their name or art.

Tips for a deck design that looks sick

• Think tall and skinny. A deck is long and narrow, so vertical images and designs that run nose to tail look best.
• Keep important stuff away from the edges and the very ends, where the board curves up and scuffs first.
• Bigger files are better. Send the highest-resolution image you have. Phone photos usually work great.
• Bold beats busy. Strong colors and big shapes read best from across the room or the skatepark.

Small shop, real people, fair prices

Super Sick Printing is a small, family-run shop right here in Gwinnett County, Georgia. When you order a custom skateboard from us, you're not dealing with a faceless print factory. You're working with a skater and designer who looks at your art, cares how it turns out, and actually answers emails. A one-of-one deck for $72 with free shipping is a great price for a gift that hangs around for years, and every order helps a local small business keep doing what it loves. That means a lot to us.
