ABOUT UWS

Gradient
UWS BETTER BOARDS BY DESIGN

Uncle Wiggley Skateboards has been manufacturing some of the highest quality and functional skateboard decks since 1978.  UWS sold thousands and  thousands of HQ skateboard decks from the late 1970's until the early 1990's.  The Uncle Wiggley "ARGYLE" was an iconic best seller.  Using only the highest quality materials and handmade craftsmanship.  Uncle Wiggley was also chosen by the legendary TOM SIMS to manufacture his first relatively large production run of the first American Made SIMS snowboards in the mid 1980's.   

 

Our list of Teamriders from back in the day includes the Legendary TONY MAGNUSSON / ADRIAN DEMAIN and DAVE DUNCAN.  Other UWS teamriders who held their own yet never reached "Legendary" status include:  Myself i.e. Dave Bedore - Brad Smith - Dave Crabb - Mike Mapp and Pete Finlan.

​

UWS manufactured decks for many companies including:  H-STREET - SGI - BLOCKHEAD SKATES - ALLEN LOSI - HAMELS ACTION SPORTS and others.

 

Uncle Wiggley not only produced 6 ply Epoxy/Fiberglass decks exclusively, but also KEVLAR and TITANIUM reinforced decks as well.  Not to mention our innovative ultra lite "FOAM CORE" line.

 

UWS is proud to re-introduce a brand new line of HQ skateboard decks and Continuations / Re-issues of some of our most popular and best selling decks of the 1980's.
