About

Craftsmanship

I have a personal relationship with the final product that only comes from the intimate knowledge of my craft. Each board is crafted like a sculpture; they each have their own aesthetic characteristics and nuances that make each deck a unique artifact.

Inspiration of design

There is beauty in the form of a surfboard that is dictated by its function and how it interacts with its environment. I want to capture the same beauty in my skateboards. I have been surfing since I was 17 and recently moved away from the ocean. Because I no longer have the beach in my backyard, I bring the feeling of surfing to the pavement.



Sustainability

There is no reason for cutting down trees for new materials when there are adequate materials that are abandoned and destined to rot in the landfill. Breathing new life into this material and creating something new is a moral obligation and important facet of Glide Skateboards.
