Yachts, race cars and skateboards

This year’s entry into the next great skateboard fabrication method comes from N2R Skate, which is a side venture from a company that has been making boat hulls using a sandwiched composite technology from a Swedish company named DIAB. It’s apparently used in private jets, boats, skis, trains, submerged water vehicles, and now skateboards. The main advantage they are pushing is that this would be the last longboard you’d ever need to buy, since it’s virtually indestructible and is 25% lighter than standard longboards. To be sure, they show these boards taking some incredible abuse with the implied assumption that the performance would not be effected as a result. They drive a car over the board, which is not that big of a deal considering I’ve seen an Uncle Wiggley wood/fiberglass composite board survive an encounter like that during the 80’s. However, some of the other puncture tests are pretty impressive. Of course this technology comes with a price tag. Remember, this is for yachts and race cars. During the kickstarter phase they are offering a “strongly discouted price” of 179€ or 242$ for the deck alone. Pictures and videos after the jump.

THIS IS A GROUND BREAKING LONGBOARD FROM HIGH SPEC YACHTS & CAR RACING TECH WITH 4 EXCLUSIVE CHARACTERISTICS

Our story it’s simple: imagine an 80 feets yacht built to be indestructible whilst running at 40 knoots on the sea? We have been working on it for the last 15 years. We have been able to start, to implement and to develop for the first time in a large production scale, vacuum infusion process for real big components such us yacht hulls !… then we applied it to car racing and we launched a seat for performace Karts creating what was not existing in the marketplace: a real design, light and strong seats and axles overcoming traditional ones. And now? Now we are here since several months testing revolutionary longboards and skates we are launching worldwide now: so “you are tuned on the Boards revolution”

100% MADE WITH A PROPRIETARY TRICOMPOSITE (KEVLAR + CARBON + FIBER) “INFUTURE” INFUSION TECHNOLOGY USED FOR TOP YACHTS & CAR RACING COMPONENTS. Our Biaxial technologies are developed in collaboration with DIAB, the greatest core production’s company, after a 15 year of research and development. This is the reason why you can use our Decks in any situation and load it as much as you want: they are made with high performance sandwich core recyclable material.

BUILT TO BE INDESTRUCTIBLE our decks are 40% stronger than the ones in fiberglass ones and 70% stronger than the plywood. All details are designed to perfection offering outstanding durability and impressive core shock resistance. These decks are “built for life “. Because of that: we offer a 3 YEARS WARRANTY over structural breaking outperforming the whole market where average is in between 6 and 12 months warranty.

EASY TO CARRY ON with you because the urban version is 25% LIGHTER than standard LongBoards. Feel it ! Our Urban Board weights 1,6 kg whilst a standard weights foa a 37′ is apx. 2KG+. Carry it with you everywhere.

OFFERING A UNIQUE STYLE & DESIGN: Our technology give a unique personality and STYLE to our N2R decks that everybody can immediately identify. It’s impossible to compare our Decks with others… Be part of this revolution and sustain innovation!
