How are our products tested?
All our decks are tested in the laboratory. These tests ensure that all European standards for skateboard/longboard decks are met. Wear tests are also carried out.
In addition to lab tests, we do field tests - some measured and others based on the testers' opinions - to really put the product through its paces. The result is a tested, proven product.
