We are a Custom Longboard Skateboard Company that started with a group of friends wanting to ride a board that was our "own". Something innovative and fresh...Custom boards that fit our personalities. This is how our journey began. We are based in Hoboken, NJ (just outside of Manhattan) and our goal is to bring originality back to boarding. At www.bustinboards.com YOU TOO can get exactly what you want in a longboard. Simply click on a "Design A Board", select your whip, choose the graphic, paint it up however you choose. Upgrade your trucks/wheels/ bearings if you want and press "Complete Order". We will handle the rest!

The Idea began in 2001 when a group of friends in Hagerstown, Maryland decided we were tired of paying good money for junk longboards. After a little research, we started cutting out boards in Ryan's family's barn. Michael tagged up the first board for his cousin Lindsey as a "going away to college" gift and the train started rolling. A few weeks later Mike busted his lip open during a session and on the way to hospital painfully uttered the resulting epiphany, "we should call them Bustin Boards". That summer we made a handful of boards here and there, but spent most of our time bombing hills. Each board we made was new, different and better than the last. We knew immediately what our goal was to be.

Before long our little barn shop became a hub for our ideas and a place to bring them to life. Design, Build, Ride - it was our mission in life and the designs evolved quickly. Before long we were laminating our own boards and producing wild, original shapes. By 2004 we were beginning to see past our humble barn shop. We began planning for a move to New York City and later that year made the jump the big apple. After spending a year crammed tiny Greenwich Village shop, we stumbled across our dream space; a 5,000 sq. foot warehouse loft in Hoboken.

Today we make and ship all of the boards by hand from our Hoboken loft. 2007 was our biggest year so far with boards wrapping around the world and solid feedback coming from all angles. In 2008, we continue to stick to the original vision, printing each board by hand based on the customer's personal style.

Welcome to the Bustin shop. Get a quick intro into the nature of each of Bustin's four current models as described by the men who make them. See the Complex, Cigar, Spliff and new Sojourn board up-close and get a glimpse into life at the Bustin shop.

Here is a sweet video highlighting our Open House weekend put together by our friends over at OKOTO Apparel. Let yourself be whisked away as you journey through the weekend highlights with your host, Bustin's own Matt Colvin (aka. Sir Gentry Bottlesworth Esquire)

Thanks to Marc and the crew for putting together this highlight reel of the one and only Harlem's host.

Shout out to our boy Brint Duncan for cutting up this sick video.

Yes we are a bit cheesy, but its cool for a small company when someone sends you something like this. Watch closely...
