The short answer is that we love skateboarding. We make the highest quality skateboards. We ride them. We scrutinize them. We push them to their limits. We figure out how to make them better. As our products evolve, so do our experiences. This symbiosis helps drive the culture of skateboarding.
WHO WE ARE
We started making our own versions of skateboards as a way to have fun while travelling between classes. Riding around campus injected adventure and adrenaline into a moment that wasn’t normally exciting. The enjoyment of travelling on a skateboard was so great, that skateboarding became the destination.
We started looking for corners to navigate and hills to bomb. Our view of the world had forever changed. We started to see our environment as an endless playground, full of possibilities.
The reason that Landyachtz skateboards stand out from the rest in terms of quality, value, and enjoyment is because of our attention to detail and our passion to innovate. When we started making skateboards 22 years ago, we didn’t realize how far we were going to push the boundaries of the sport, and the need for stronger, more precise equipment.
The products that were on the market in the late 90’s didn’t stand up to the forces that we subjected them to. The steep and winding streets of our city begged us for bigger and better wheels, stronger and more responsive trucks, and boards that could survive the constant abuse of being pushed faster and harder as we became stronger riders and found more challenging terrain.
