DL Skateboards is a skateboard company based in Topanga Canyon, California, United States (US). Founded in 2011 by artist/skateboarder couple Derek Mabra and Lauren Andino, their original skateboards were created in their Brooklyn, NY apartment.[1]

Mabra, a former woodworker, would shape the skateboard, while Andino does the painting.[2] The artwork is inspired by the California surf scene of the 1960s, showcasing minimal, surfboard-like designs.[3]

In 2014, The Daily Beast called the skateboards "cult favorites".[4] Mabra and Andino's business was also profiled in a short documentary created by Cool Hunting.[5]
