Product Description
Mark Ward is an illustrator and animator from London, U.K. His bold and vibrant work is informed by his fascination with Americana and skate culture.
In this signature board series, Mark pays homage to the unique Love Hate relationship we all share with the cruel mistress that is skateboarding. A physically unhealthy relationship that causes so much pain, frustration, and heartbreak yet feels so good. How is it possible to keep flipping between these two emotions? Are we all masochists? It's going to take a few more slams to figure it out... LOVE, HATE - JUST SKATE!

Madrid Mark Ward Love, Hate, Just Skate 8.25" Skateboard - LOVE - Key Questions Answered
What kind of rider is this deck best for?
It suits riders who want a stable, predictable maple deck for cruising, campus riding, and mellow carving. The shape and 7-ply feel make it friendly for everyday use without feeling overly twitchy.
Is this a good choice for someone new to longboarding?
Yes, if you want a board that feels consistent underfoot while you learn balance, pushing, and carving. Its traditional maple construction gives a familiar ride that helps new riders build confidence faster.
How does the ride feel compared with softer or more specialized decks?
It feels snappy, stable, and more straightforward than many flexier or niche downhill-focused decks. That makes it easier to trust for casual cruising and quick direction changes.
Would this work well for commuting around campus or through town?
Yes, it handles pushing, footbraking, and short carving lines well for daily routes. The predictable hardrock-style maple platform is a strong fit when you want control around pedestrians.
What should I expect from the Mark Ward Love graphic model?
Expect a pro-model deck with a standout Team Graphic Design Series look and a proven Madrid build. It gives you a polished rider feel and visual style without moving into boutique pricing.

Trippy assym setup with Rogue ZM1's and assorted wheels really rips for downhill! I also hope to run cones with it soon.

Kiddo got this board for Christmas, for us to ride on Route 66. Board is good quality. No name trucks, but they function well for her. She likes the Punked Speed Series wheels. We did put reds super bearings in it. The factory bearings do not roll near as well. For the price, for a complete, it is well worth it. This is our second Punked Longboard, and both have served their purpose. I would buy from this company, and Vendor again, without question.

Well built and super fun to skate on. Wheels work well on imperfect pavement and sidewalk cracks. Bearings are legit.

Skater since 1974, pool pipe and skatepark, I've ridden it all but these Carver C7 trucks were a revelation. Best for slow speed styling and generally hanging some art on mellow terrain.
Definitely a kick and worth trying.
