Lo-ply Leslie. Canadian Gem of a commuter board
This deck from the Toronto based company is probably the closest you will get to a magic carpet ride for distance skating or commuting.
The Lo-ply Leslie caught my interest when I saw Xavi crush 250miles at the 2026 Dutch Ultraskate. It was how he could setup Hokus and Dadbod wheels on a wooden drop board that rode so low that got my attention.
This deck has extreme 20 degrees wedging on both ends, giving it an extremely low ride height at 5cm (with 100mm wheels) with the recommended Ace 44 and 22 TKPs. It pushes fast on a straight, and is very responsive on the turns - making it great as a commuter. Board flex is just right at my 150lbs on the 8 ply Canadian maple, with sculpted shape at the edges to give it somewhat of a tub cave shape.
Being used to a more stable setup from distance brackets - I found the ACE trucks too lively for my liking and after some tinkering I could get the similar ride height with a much more stability with a 11 deg Bhanger TKP on the front, coupled with a flipped Ecolite X pivot 20 (effectively making it a zero rear) at the back. This setup allowed me to run this as a wiggle pumper (albeit not as efficient) if I needed to without any woodwork modifications to the beaver tail at the rear.
Shipping and tariffs are probably going to be an issue for most, but if you are in the market for something unique - this is definitely something.
