The company is most well-known for their creation of the Penny board, a 22" plastic skateboard.[4] Along with the penny board, the company has created other products similar to the penny board such as a larger, 27" variant sometimes referred to as a nickel board.[5] Their 29" model, called the "Surfskate", was created with the intent for the rider to feel as if they are surfing while riding the board.[6] The company also offers a 32" and 36" board which are similar to a typical skateboard and longboard respectively.[5]
