When it comes to snow and snowboarding, last Winter season as been pretty shitty in Friuli. It started three weeks later (on Xmas eve) and lasted until a rainy Easter weekend, so let’s say it’s been has old as J.C.
It snowed all over Italy, even in the deep south, and I mean a lot of snow. But it looked like there was a damned umbrella over Friuli. Anyway, Piancavallo resort managed to build a nice snowpark and we had a lot of fun. Here we know how to have fun with little less of what we expected.
So, last time we went for some boarding we went to Zoncolan mountain an there we found the stand of the first 100% made in Italy skateboards: Pachyderm. I love skateboarding but I’m not a skater, so I hope those decks kick ass because they are 100% made in Friuli, in Tolmezzo, Carnia, and I’m proud.
At the moment the website is in Italian only but here comes a little description:
– Made with German beech tree wood for a total of 7 layers including a carbon/kevlar one and a VTR one
– old school screen printed graphics
– three types: basic, carbon strings and c/k top.
I wish this guys the best. Check them out!
