Basalt Fiber Reinforced Skateboard Decks — 3-Layer Strength by New Wave Skateboards

At New Wave Skateboards, our decks are built for skaters who want long-lasting pop, stronger impact resistance, and consistent performance. That’s why we reinforce our skateboards with three layers of basalt fiber—a high-performance material chosen for its strength, durability, and vibration-dampening feel. If you’re looking for a reinforced skateboard deck that can take real street skating and keep its snap, you’re in the right place.

What is basalt fiber (simple explanation)


Basalt fiber is made from natural volcanic rock that’s processed into ultra-strong fibers. In skateboard construction, it’s used as a reinforcement layer to help improve strength-to-weight performance, reduce fatigue over time, and keep the deck feeling solid after heavy sessions.

Why we use 3 layers of basalt fiber

 

 

Most decks rely on wood alone, or the cheaper alternative (fiberglass) We don’t. Our 3-layer basalt fiber reinforced skateboard decks are engineered to:


  • Increase impact resistance during hard landings, gaps, and daily street abuse
  • Improve durability by helping prevent stress fatigue that leads to soft spots
  • Hold pop longer by supporting the deck’s structure as it breaks in
  • Add a smoother ride feel by reducing harsh vibration and chatter

How basalt fiber changes the ride

 

 

Basalt reinforcement helps the deck feel more stable and responsive, especially under heavy pop and repeated impacts. Skaters often describe reinforced decks as feeling “snappier longer” and “more solid” after weeks of skating—because the reinforcement helps the deck resist the slow breakdown that normally kills pop.

 

Built for real skating

 

Whether you skate street, park, or tech, reinforcement matters. Our goal is simple: a deck that keeps its shape, keeps its pop, and keeps you rolling. New Wave Skateboards basalt reinforced decks are made for skaters who want pro-quality construction without sacrificing board feel.
