Skateboards have been made out of many materials of the years, including fiberglass, plastic, composite plastic materials, aluminum, metal alloys, wood, and wood combinations. The reason that wood has remained the material of choice has to do with a couple primary reasons.
One: Wood is the most cost effective resource available. Skateboards wear out in the normal process of riding and doing tricks, learning, progressing, and everything that comes with it. Other materials have been used to make skateboards lighter, stiffer, and some say stronger, but the end result is usually a higher cost. The benefits do not outweigh the detriments, and since they do not last longer than a wood board, making them out of a more expensive material doesn't make sense.
Two: The feel of wood as tricks are performed is noteable better and more consistent than most other materials. Wood also tends to last longer with the same pop than other easily made materials. People have been working on boards made out of other materials for a long time, but nothing replaces the feel and comfort of a wood board.
It is worth noting that several well-established board companies have had recent success with boards that are made of wood with fiberglass laminates as one or two of the seven layers pressed into their boards, and there are other construction systems which currently employ other materials for strength, stiffness ("pop") and durability. But even in these cases the primary material used is still wood.
a normal brand is made of 7 layers of plywood wood so that there is a balance of weight and strength so it doesn't break
