guys we're been David and Kevin from Brea skateboards and we make skateboards from plastic free oceans welcome to our Kickstarter we're down here in Santiago Chile working on our fishing net collection recycling program where we've made the first skateboard from recycled fish net waste we love riding our boards we want to share the joy with you helped us make this project a reality and support us on Kickstarter here's our story the word barrio comes from the native Mapuche people of chile and it means waves we chose it to first recognize the country that gave us the opportunity to create this project through our initiative net positiva we're able to source a continuous supply of high-quality highly durable and highly recyclable material just as a wave starts with this small disturbance on the surface of the ocean we're starting with this small change in an ocean of plastic and with more time and energy we can create this great force of change our idea was to transform plastic collect on the coastline of Chile into a positive product and we're excited to bring you the minnow the first skateboard created from recycled fish down along the coast of Chile - meant a los pescadores no hacen ninguna Priscilla de Sol materialist no hace muy poco proportion para que un grande Sofia parle avec artisanal a porque / materia poder approaches no contaminate the nestled s hol man when we set up our net collection program net positiva and a few select communities in Chile the reception we got from the fishermen where we showed them that we were converting this burden into this positive product was incredibly well-received the challenges is that these fishermen are dealing with an incredible amount of fish net waste with very limited resources and infrastructure there's a supply chain that we've set up on the ground in Chile we're able to transport the Nets from the remote fishing towns to our recycling and manufacturing facility it's under one roof at our Santiago recycling center that our next undergo a unique process where they're sorted shredded and re pelletized to be made into future minnow skateboards after months of hard work in a plastics engineering and research lab in the United States we've been able to refine the design and the material to provide you not only a sustainable board but a high quality board as well we've partnered with industry-leading component suppliers Satori Movement Paris trucks and busting bearings who all aligned with our mission to provide you with the board with an awesome ride like me design nothing bored because it's like a fish yeah it's a pretty good board this is a really special project for the team inspired by a deep connection to the ocean where surfers and general ocean lovers we actually get to ride our board that we thought of through this project we get to see the board go from the cleaning process and the collection points for the manufacturing in Santiago we get to put this board under your feet and have you ride it something that we're really proud of rakesh a the world's first and only rock and debris deflector for most standard and penny sized skateboards skateboarding is something people are passionate about the euphoria that comes from skating is limitless but as high as that could be the crash can be even greater specifically when your board hits the rock and you go flying off all skateboarders have fought one of the most lopsided battles known to man the war of skateboarders versus rocks you can almost hear the maniacal laughter coming from rocks after they take down yet another rider for decades skateboards have evolved in regards to the wheels the trucks even the deck themselves all in an effort to make skateboarding more enjoyable protective gear has also come a long way and if you choose to wear it it can help soften the blow when you fall parents today are willing to do almost anything to protect their children but let's be honest none of those are viable options we want to welcome you to the new era of skateboarding one where skateboarders have the upper hand rocks be where as you can see rakesh a doesn't change the way your board performs in fact even the most advanced riders to still perform the majority of their tricks I really believe it's useful for kids just learning for even adults they just ride cruiser boards a phone on a skateboard more times than I can count I mean like mostly because of stop rocks they just hit your wheels and you go flying I've been riding over by a car when I was 15 years old I hit a rock and I fell in front of a car ran me over doctor said I wasn't gonna skate again but you know a couple surgeries and Here I am I don't notice the ruckus Shay on my skateboard at all it's very light yeah the rocker say it's nice you can still skate with it I was doing street tricks I was boardslide and landing and going through rocks kicks the rocks out the way when you want to go downhill bombing and stuff then you just go right through big rocks small rocks anything I really feel that it's going to save a lot of a lot of parents from going to the ER and kids from being injured one of the challenges we faced was finding a material that was light enough where skateboarders wouldn't notice it yet strong enough with the right amount of flex to stand up to the harsh conditions of skateboarding I design rakesh a to not only deflect rocks and debris but also rise up over uneven riding surfaces rakesh a attaches easily to the trucks of your board so even if you're just starting out writing it college to be cruising around campus or more advanced riders we've got you covered please tell your friends about Rakesh and together we can help turn the tide in the war against Rock and helps everyone ride free how could we turn on the radio the first time I brought out the rover after finishing the design I took it to my favorite skate spot I just made this new board was ready to go it's just me and newest it was perfect I felt like I was on top of the world waiting to drop in 1:21 seaboards is a lot more than just a skateboard company it's a prototype to solve an industry-wide problem like a global problem of carbon fiber waste disposal we'd really like to thank those people that supported us with the first Kickstarter last summer which allowed us to go a lot further a lot quicker than we thought during the production of the aileron we noticed that we were still generating a small amount of scrap and so we decided to put that material to good use that's when I knew we had it this was this was the board we were about to start making it really began to see that we wanted to engineer an orb it was totally different it's a time-consuming process we start with one iteration go back change it again we wanted to make it sleek and stark kind of had it looking like a missile it's got those sharp angular features that make you think of an aggressive aircraft but there's a lot of purpose behind that engineering we knew we had to put a hole in the board because we wanted people to be able to lock it up we wanted to have a shape that relayed and conveyed its origin as an aerospace product we ended up sweeping that whole back and giving it a slight curve on one side and a hard angle on the other turning into more of an aerodynamic shape it all starts with processing we get the shipments of scraps of material and we cut it to length and width then kit it load it into the press and then take it out to the water jet cutter each board that we make it's water jet cut to incredible tolerance within five thousandths of an inch an eighty thousand psi stream water comes blast the material out of the way what you're left with is cool skateboard with water jerk reading to the President to the tracks in every aspect of the book to give you we really focused on stability really stablest small board on the carbon fiber composites you kid allowed us to make the board smaller we have a new tighter wheel that gives you that great handle feels very member on what this board represents the passion and innovation of 120 once it's light and smooth it's unlike any other board it's far higher quality material than you can get get any consumer product when we finally finish our board it's like emerging from a cave felt like I was on top of the world and then I dropped it on hello Kickstarter my name is Desmond and I'm here to talk about baby does wills limbs for skateboards the idea came to me a few years ago when I went to bed one night and had a dream me skateboarding was all my dream I used to refresh a magazine and in my dreams one night I seen from then on I had my share of ups and downs we're trying to make a dream reality I stay focused like when you pop a trick my fall off hit the ground then you try and try to stick it never give up cuz the only time you truly fail is with in an escape or culture who you are define on how much determination practice and hard you put forth making your destiny a reality baby doves skate skate and after that I continue to go to manufacturers and see if I can try to get this made so after a lot of time trial and error I was able to finally come up with a product that works very strong durable we got pink limbs we got Chrome we got gold rims we got matte black kind of like Batman style rims we love skateboarding it is such an integral part of many of our daily lives the skateboards get us to school work and most importantly play boards and writing styles take many forms with even more unique writers but we are connected by the joy of the sport no matter who you are or what you're writing we found that where your boards journey began and ended each day is where we started by a problem there was no suitable product to facilitate this need that's why the dock from board home was created it's a simple multi-purpose board storage and display rack our boards are often a second thought after writing which means they could easily end up misplaced damaged or just inconvenient for us or others around us we decided to solve that problem our easy-to-use rack was designed for a quick grab and write function we also included in the dock an accessory tray which means you will no longer use all your extras with the dock your boards will always be where you know they should store it up out of the way and convenient we realize that every person has different writing needs whether you're single with a couple boards or a growing family the dock is able to support you in any circumstance it has a unique modular design that is made up of interchangeable board slot sections giving you the ability to grill not only your skateboard collection but be able to know where that collection is Landing before and after use with this feature simply slide additional sections as needed and attach back to wall the dock is made up of strong molded plastic designed to be able to take the beatings for boards conditionality all this while being extremely lightweight and affordable you
