Bustin Boards

What Bustin Boards does

Bustin Boards Co. (legal entity: Expertis LLC, incorporated in Maryland) is a privately held skateboard manufacturer founded in 2001 and headquartered in Hagerstown, Maryland. The company designs, hand-paints, and assembles skateboards at a single Maryland workshop, producing two primary product lines: push boards (non-electric longboards and street decks) and hybrid electric boards (introduced 2014). The hybrid line — Yoface, Sportster, and Shrike V3 — integrates Dualomo push-friendly hub motors, Samsung 216Wh batteries, and a proprietary Bluetooth Shaka'mote V3 remote, with specs reaching 27 mph top speed and 14-16 mile range. The push board lineup includes the Maestro, Yoface, Sportster, Shrike, Daenseu, and Bustin Shop Deck, with proprietary construction techniques including Push-Camber design, (T)Core multi-wood layup, and Five-O urethane wheel formulations. Pricing spans $59.99 for street decks to $899 for the flagship Yoface Hybrid, with a full customization service ("One of a Kind") for graphics, trucks, wheels, and bearings.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model exclusively through its own Shopify-powered storefront at bustinboards.com, with global shipping via FedEx to 11+ countries across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. No third-party retail distribution is used. Bustin targets a horizontal segmentation of consumer skaters — urban commuters, downhill/freeride riders, street/park skaters, dance/freestyle enthusiasts, and recreational riders — with the urban commuter segment as primary. Marketing is driven through an owned video content library, social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), email newsletter, a Board Finder quiz, and a referral program, supported by a pro skate team. The company is privately held with no external funding disclosed, a small headcount of 1-10 employees, and a parent holding structure under Expertis LLC. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
