Hand built by industrial designer Alex Luxat, these skateboards are made of special carbon fiber elements which are only seen on Formula 1 racing vehicles. To keep the aerodynamic design and appeal is place, these cruisers have been made available in two shapes: full and cutaway that shall give its riders the advantage at higher speeds. The deck is built by a special prepeg carbon fibre, ash, poplar, zebrano and airex foam-core. The finishing is done by a .5mm zebra wood veneer that has a special heat-coat treatment that further makes it heat resistant and lightweight. Moreover, these boards are made in summer as the lower humidity allows for a cleaner finish and proper bonding of the parts.

Advanced Composites epoxy pre-impregnated carbon is pressed and cured in our proprietary vacuum-in-mold-heating process. The quasi-isotropic layering and heat-curing provide a torsion ally rock-solid deck that doesn´t get weak even when baking in the sun (not recommended but safe up to surface temperatures of 100°C/212°F). The prepreg carbon has to be stored deep-frozen at minus 20°C until processing. The advantages (perfect fiber/resin ratio, lighter and tougher laminate) outweigh the cost and handling efforts which are considerably bigger than those of common wet-laminates in other brands´ foam-core decks.”
Never been a skateboarder myself, but, with what can be figured out from the specifications, one can say this is surely going to add to your list of stylish accessories. Our previous coverage of designer skateboards includes the Louis Bradier long-board, which too used specialized design elements. So, get ready to ride ‘n’ glide in style!
