KOTA Longboards
Michael Maloney, President/CEO
Briefly describe your companies products and services
KOTA Longboards hand manufactures longboard skateboards. We engineer our longboards similar to downhill skis, which makes them high performance carving boards. Combined with sophisticated styling, KOTA Longboards are unique in the marketplace.
What makes your company unique?
The combination of high performance carving and sophisticated styling sets KOTA Longboards apart from most other longboard manufacturers. We've moved the primary art surface to the top of the deck whereas most of
the market covers the top of the longboard with grip tape.
What separates your company from the competition?
KOTA Longboards focuses on broadening the traditional demographic for longboard skateboards. We believe that longboarding is ripe for moving into the mainstream action sports market similar to paddle boards this season or rollerblades in the past. Our products are designed and styled with the mainstream market in mind. How is your company advancing the industry? One of the appealing aspects of the longboard market is that there is no dominant industry thought leader at this time. The construction and performance of a longboard hasn't changed fundamentally for a decade. KOTA focuses on how a rider uses a longboard and we engineer our decks and develop new product specifically to enhance the rider experience and appeal to a broader demographic.
