There is a large number of longboards on the market, which differ in shape and material from which the boards are made but among them very few are foldable. In the thesis folding roll that is more beautiful in shape and takes up less space compared to others was made. First, in the SolidWorks program, using finite element module, the optimum composition and orientation of the veneers was set. Then a production plan was created and with the SolidCam software the code for cutting the board on a CNC machine was generated. The veneer sheets were glued with epoxy and polyurethane adhesives. Beech veneer and carbon fibre reinforcements were used for board production. In this way 10% better properties in the longitudinal and 50% in the lateral direction of the board were obtained. For the assembly of both halves of the roll a compound made of aluminium inserts on the principle of plug and notch was constructed.
