WE SKATE MUNICIPAL
At Omega Ramps, our mission is simple: more quality skate spaces = better communities.
Like many good stories, ours starts around the dining room table of our founders Dave and Sara Duffin. More specifically in our case, with their dining room table.
It was 2018 on Oahu, HI. Dave and Sara had just moved into a new house and loved the idea of a large concrete table for their growing family to gather around. Concrete wasn’t entirely new to them—Dave had been experimenting with decorative concrete since 2015.
Before long, Dave and Sara were admiring a beautiful new concrete table in their dining room. The job was done, and smiles were carved into their faces. But the more time they spent around it, the more Dave began thinking of it as a skate feature. A lifelong skateboarder and snowboarder, the smooth surface and clean lines kept tempting him, and he couldn’t shake the idea of skating it.
He wisely never skated it and instead dove headfirst into researching what it would take to build concrete ramps he could actually skate.
In 2019, Dave spent the year researching 3D modeling, materials, formulations, and building techniques. It became his passion. By fall, Dave and his kids were skating the very first prototype, and his passion quickly evolved into a business idea.
By 2020, Dave was perfecting his ramp designs in leased shop space from his former employer, the Polynesian Cultural Center. By late summer, the very first Omega Ramp was completed. In 2021, Dave and Sara relocated to St. George, UT, to build the company. With the extra space and manufacturing power, Dave added rollers, rails, boxes, and many other custom features.
today, Dave and Sara are driven by the mission of providing skate spaces at an affordable price, giving more kids access to skateboarding and other wheeled sports—an antidote to a generation addicted to their phones.
Dave and Sara now work with cities and municipalities in building concrete skateparks, skate plazas, skate dots, pump tracks and more.
Omega Ramps is a multidisciplinary construction company based in Hurricane, UT. Led by Dave Duffin, the company specializes in precast concrete skateparks, pump tracks and more for communities like yours.
