Homegrown Skateboards is a small-scale skateboard manufacturing company based in La Have, Nova Scotia (a seaside town about 150 km south of Halifax). These guys thrive on using hand craftsmanship and local materials, including 100% East Coast hard rock maple (these trees grow with tighter rings and stronger wood grain due to those long and cold east coast winters(burr) resulting in a much tougher veneer and therefore a stronger board). All the decks are pressed, shaped and silk-screened one by one and have killer, and often east coast inspired, graphics. -Angela Noonan
