More boards out the door

At 74 Oxford there is a board for everyone. Some like the art, some like the unique shapes of custom build boards but everyone leaves happy. We always assure first time riders that they made the right decision to take up longboarding. What an amazing effect it has on a life by enhancing the daily commute, putting you into motion all while functioning as a mobile piece of functional art work.

Here are some new riders who found the right board for them at 74 Oxford, The Longboard Living Gallery

Fresh Deck at 74 Oxford

We just received a shipment of blanks from our custom longboard supplier.

Custom orders will be painted on 35" or 42" drop through boards.

There is a line up of artists ready to get at these so expect to see some new boards in the collection very soon. If you would like to place an order for a custom painted board, email us at longboardliving@gmail.com and we will help you design a custom board and choose an artist with the right style.

Sneak Peek: Longboard Living x Napalm Decks

A few months ago at the Upwards and Onwards showcase with Jimmy Chiale, the idea came up to do a collaboration with Matthew Napier, Master builder for Napalm Decks. In order to showcase the available work by Napes and custom longboard painting by Longboard Living artist Jimmy Chiale it somehow seemed like a good idea to paint on top of some extremely rare carbon. Its normal use is to line the inside of Rolls Royce jet engines, so why not a longboard? The deck is sure to be a show stopper and will be complete with custom built trucks by GFT. There are a few more surprises set up for this piece. Here are a few pics to tie you over.

LL @ The Roarockit Swap Meet

Longboard Living was posted up at this years Roarockit Swap Meet. The event brought out close to 200 stoked out enthusiasts including many of Ontario's finest independent custom builders. Our current collaborative partner 'Napes' was displaying some of his custom carbon drop decks. I got the word that special ordered carbon for our collaboration deck came in and will go into production this week. GFT also let me know that he has started designing a 1 off double kingpin DH truck for this collaboration which will include the art of Jimmy Chiale swirled between the carbon weaves!

GFT brought LL some of his personally poured bushings which were in high demand at the swap. Longboard Living at 74 Oxford will be the official Toronto supplier of GFT bushings, spacers, trucks and other goods he decides to infect the market with.

The crowd enjoyed the wood-burned Bustin Boards Complex which was created by Champstiles Wood Burning through a Longboard Living collaboration.


Alongside Longboard Living was Mike Bozinovski from BOZ Boards and Kevin LeFrank from Ambitious Longboards who's decks will soon be carried at 74 Oxford. Kevin has a line of Freeride "W" concave and Downhill drop decks which will launch at a product release party on April 10th at 2pm.




















Jimmy Chiale attended the show for some live board painting and took orders for custom painted boards.

























Thanks to Roarockit for hosting this years Swap Meet and everyone else who was involved.

Jimmy Chiale solo art show ft. LBL

Jimmy Chiale laid the smack down on every inch of canvas, wood or cotton that he touched for his solo art show at Marc Anthony Hair Salon last night. His new pieces are a perfect fusion of abstract surrealism full of color and smooth lines. The DJ was live and the venue was perfect for a featured artist event. Jimmy is a resident stylist at the salon - 38 Avenue Rd. @ Yorkville Ave. and his pieces will remain on display and on sale.
