10 Years of Rayne Longboards

“In 2003 Graham Buksa, the wizard behind the curtain that is Rayne Longboards, began making boards in Alberta and calling them Rayne. A year later, Graham brought his particular magic to British Columbia and the North Shore and joined the burgeoning group of coastal shredders pioneering downhill skateboarding as we know it today. 10 years later, Rayne Longboards has been recognized as one of the leading innovators in longboarding and speedboarding. Graham’s design, collaboration with our professional race team and Rayne manufacturing have produced some of the most innovative, performance oriented, top quality and winningest longboards Worldwide. Pulling back the curtain, something Rayne rarely does, please enjoy a glimpse inside the world of Rayne Longboards and Graham Buksa and prepare yourself for another decade of Better, Best and Different from Rayne Longboards Design and Manufacturing.”

Rayne Team Rider: George Mackenzie

“About a year ago, George Mackenzie visited Rayne to grab some Vicious, we asked him what he was up to and he said: “It’s Complicated”. We’d go for coffee now and then and chat, but not much came of it, we figured we were “Just Friends”. George was skating for the sake of skating and that was okay. Then one day we were hanging out by a bowl, George was doing his thing and then all of a sudden he came over, sat down beside us and said, “Will you?” We said “YES!” And now we’re in a relationship. Love you George! Welcome to the Family.”

Longboarding, Maryhill Freeride to Menlo Park Skate Jam, Part 2

“In this second of three episodes, Aidan Lynds, Levi Green, Tommy Watson and Papa Les chase the sun south and head to Oregon. With mountains, rivers, lakes and zoo’s Oregon State makes for a skaters paradise day and night. Ninja’s know you can never stay in one place too long and the Rayne team kinda blew it and got a visit from the police. Sometimes you just got to hit it and run, no matter how much fun the road is.”
