Here is an idea for a relatively inexpensive custom deck.
A deck that uses a single chromoly steel tube as a spine should work pretty well. The Stooge SS uses one single tube. Here is a link SRB SuperSpine – Stooge Raceboards, LLC
The tube could be bent to allow for a pretty substantial drop down to help keep the deck height manageable. At the end of each tube, a truck mounting plate can be welded on.
You could even use as small enclosure on top of the deck to help simply things.

I bet Moe at Stooge Racing could build something like this.

So I have a video of it being ridden by me, but I want to throw a HUGE disclaimer out. This was mid build, before the stainless steel reinforcement of the deck, and before any of the bushings had been adjusted/swapped out and dialed in, and I have less than an hour total trying the set up at this point. This was back in November I think.
As soon as I get a chance to ride it and film again, I’ll post an updated video where I actually show how well it can perform.
It might look like I am off balance at points, and I am not, I am just trying to see what pumping the front truck does, and honestly, it generates ZERO speed once you are already going 20+kmh.

This is an absolute beast of a build seriously impressive engineering and customization! The hybrid surfskate concept with that power and carveability is next-level. Given your background in speed sports, the performance focus makes total sense. Would love to see a full build breakdown and more pics this deserves the spotlight!
