We love our longboards. We love crafting them and riding them. Each Peregrine Longboard is a unique character just like the people who ride them. They are one-of-a-kind with their own birthday.
Our longboards are crafted using the traditional woodworking techniques taught by Robert Van Norman at the Inside Passage School of Fine Woodworking. Peregrine Longboards are made of two layers of hardwoods such as jatoba, walnut, maple, cocobolo, oak, arbutus, and purple heart bent in our live-camber press creating a dynamic, plush ride that responds in each and every turn.
We've put our passion and care into each board and we hope that you'll feel it too.
Peregrine Longboards - It's all ride
Thank you Okanagan Life Magazine for the story on Peregrine Longboards in the May 2012 issue!
This longboard is our real gentleman. Its stability and smooth-riding qualities make it great for the whole range of riders. Its strength comes from its unique construction of individual vertically-oriented strips of hardwoods, jointed together, and bent over our live camber press. Its beauty is undoubtely the diverse colours of dark, reddish, and blonde woods, and the signature Peregrine stainless steel inlay. $400

This is a great city longboard, with a really smooth ride.
We build each board with vertically oriented strips of hardwoods that create a flex pattern, and a look and feel unlike any other board you'll ride. $400

This longboard is a "hyper little Philly”! It is stylish, sleek, and responsive. The Talon has a tighter turning-radius than our other longboards. $400

Peregrine Longboards – Safety Tips
1) Have a safety mindset
2) Wear protective gear. As a minimum, wear a helmet and wear elbow pads, knee pads, and gloves every time you ride.
3) Learn to ride and paddle on flat terrain – if you have never ridden before, start on the grass where there is no motion and you can get a feel for the side to side movement of the longboard. Then progress to flat places like basketball or tennis courts until you gain control and confidence.
4) Practice Figure-8s. It will help with balance and directional control.
5) Know the route you’re considering to ride. Scout the entire route prior to riding it on the longboard.
6) Evaluate the speed potential of your route and consider potential hazards before making a decision to ride it.
7) Ride within your ability.
8) Avoid riding where there is vehicle traffic.
9) Learn to recognize fatigue and stop for a rest. Don't try to ride through it.
10) Inspect the longboard prior to riding. A helpful maintenance guide is available at http://www.randal.com/guides_faq.html
11) Group riding can present situations in which riders extend themselves to the outer limits or beyond their abilities. Less experienced riders can be tempted to ride outside their abilities when more advanced riders make it look easy. Be honest about your riding experience and ability.
12) Be aware of your surroundings and constantly evaluate. Things can come out of nowhere.
13) Slow down prior to dismounting. If you know you have to stop ahead, stop pushing or paddling well in advance and reduce your speed. Break with your foot, and/or dismount decisively.

Peregrine Landpaddling Tips
1) Warm up before you go. Have a stretch, do yoga, practice your balance, and be aware before getting on your longboard.
2) Inspect the landpaddle for wear and tear to the rubber end, shaft, and handle prior to riding. Replace worn parts and don't ride with a cracked paddle.
3) Head to toe before you go. Make sure you have checked the proper fit and condition of your safety gear from head to toe before longboarding.
4) If your landpaddle is slipping on the ground, soften your pressure, and even out the force you are using to push. No slippage is possible and preferred.
5) The stroke is closer to a pull on a cross country ski pole than it is to a stand-up paddle stroke or canoe paddle. The landpaddles are built to be pushed on from the top, like a gondelier, straight down to the ground.
6) Landpaddles are not designed to be flexed like a hockey stick as a test.
7) Avoid paddling into the wheels. It stops the board immediately. Keep your paddle stroke wide of the wheels.
8) Bracing with the landpaddle on a toe-side turn is the leading cause of breakage for the landpaddles. You may be better off dismounting, than trying to hold yourself up with the landpaddle.
9) Relax, have fun, and enjoy the ride.
