A LOVESTORY
With our surfskate and skateboard collection we are trying to set new standards in the production of sustainable skateboards. Whether it is using state of the art technology like UV printing, producing and sourcing locally or helping to fund selected organisations that are changing the future of conserving nature — every product in our collection is contributing to Youth Lagoons commitment to be a „good company“.
We are launching the production of our shortboards and longboards in January 2022 — stay tuned and sign up to our mailing list to be the first to get notified once we have boards in stock.
With every product sold on our website 1% revenue (about 10% of our profit) will be donated to the 50 Reefs initiative. 50 Reefs is helping to identify and preserve coral reefs which have a chance of surviving global warming.
For a true retro surfing experience our longboards feature a cork top instead of classic griptape. The smooth but grippy cork surface offers a perfectly comfortable and secure stance for your barefoot sessions.
The Forest Steward Council certificate focusses on forest mangement and chain of custody. All of our surfskates are produced out of FSC® certified timbers from well-managed-forests and/or recycled sources.
With our special edition surfskate longboard "The Reef" we help funding the 50 Reefs initiative. A large part of our precious marine life but also many of the world’s most beautiful waves rely on the existence of coral reefs. 100% of the profit made from "The Reef" deck will be donated to the initiative, which is aiming to identify an optimum portfolio of reefs for targeting coral reef conservation. Our longboards will be available in spring 2022.
By producing our shortboards with local timber, for example beech and ash, the decks do not only have an exceptionally high quality but we avoid additional transportation and can reduce our carbon footprint.
All decks are handcrafted with heart and soul by local woodshops in northern and central Germany. The core construction and materials are a unique example of fine craftmanship and truely sustainable products.
Instead of applying heat tranfer foils we are printing all graphics directly onto the veneer of our shortboards. This state of the art UV printing process helps to reduce plastic waste, electric energy and additional transportation.
Instead of the standard seven layers Canadian maple all of our surfskate decks are built from six layers of regional German timber – this construction reduces the amount of epoxy resin needed. The result is a sustainable, lightweight but very robust deck with extra longevity and just the right amount of flex. Our shortboards will be available in spring 2022.
With the shape we have left nothing to chance. Like a classic 'Fish' our decks are true hybrids: a wide nose and extra leverage on the front truck combind with a solid wheelbase result in a stable ride but highly aggressive maneuvers. Concave and tail have been optimized for a solid stance and board control. Our shortboards will be available in spring 2022.
