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 it was it was perfect I felt like I was on top of the world waiting to drop in 121 city boards is a lot more than just a skateboard company it's a prototype to solve an industry-wide problem that 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 I really began to see that we wanted to engineer the word that 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 a 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 we laid maybe it's weird you 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 so the waterjet 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 of water to blast the material out of the way what you're left with cool skateboard to the press to the tracks engineered every aspect of the board to keep really focused on stability the Rovers really the stable is small board on the market the carbon-fiber composites you kid allowed us to make even smaller we have an even tighter wheel that gives you that great handler was very member this board represents the passion and innovation of one party once it's light and smooth it's unlike any other board it's far higher quality material than you can get in any consumer product when we finally finished our board it's like emerging from a cave I felt like I was on top of the world it's a whole new way of approaching state for those of us that love the art of engineering this is the board for us there are over a hundred wineries in Melbourne New Zealand here is a region renowned for the crafting of world-class 7l done amidst these funds there is a remaining cherry orchard on which they began their craft all this up officially founded in early 2013 the paper in project specialises in organic Fairtrade artists apparel custom skateboarder and long boards made from recycled wine barrels aiming for high quality created products that were sustainable as possible we'll throw and indigo green law said about creating a unique style of wine barrel ball partnering with organic biodynamic winemakers at Saracen estate the paper in project use wine-soaked aged oak barrels in a lengthy process to create a longboard with a beautiful body and a great ride we love doing what we do even though sometimes it means that we work from getting up until going to bed or all through the weekends and don't have much of a social life often written as a struggle but this is our passion and we can imagine doing anything else we're so passionate about making high-quality creative and sustainable products a way of life or just a part of everyone's life so far we've sold about 100 long boards to wine makers long boards are collectors and it's the whole range of people throughout New Zealand Australia Germany the States Switzerland Sweden and France we're finally happy with our product development and need a bit of help to get it off the ground we've been living and working at our parents property and we really need to put a roof over our business we have to work with blocks and Emmeline Bailey sneaky studios Mina still it's in the Laura Alice I'm a range of some established and some emerging artists for our apparel and skateboards yeah it's really inspiring seen a cover canvas for a whole range of styles we would be stoked to have your help with our project people who pledged to our cause will be given ten crafted Fairtrade organic products and most immediate in house or help made by the people that we work with it's treated and the lower website so if you love seeing a recycled handcrafted high quality product cruising down the street or you're interested in getting involved in our project it's really appreciate
