Do you like to dance? If the answer is affirma-tive, this board is for you! You will not confuse your steps on this large deck. Optimal length, the wheel-wells allow you easy ollies and slides.

HPL ( Hot Pressure Lamination ) - A technology of board pressing in increased temperature. Increased temperature improves mechanical properties and an even pressing spreads the resin precisely and removes its excess. Thanks to HPL technology you can forget about board delaminating.

V-Techology – This is a way of joining different types of timber in the core. A special profile increases strength and benefits a better balance of forces acting on welds, which will signifi-cantly prolong the core durability.

Epoxy bubble - As you can’t imagine coke without bubbles we can’t imagine our decks without glass marbles . Higher exhaustion resistance and longer life-expectancy speaks for themselves.

X-Technology - Two intersecting layers of carbon fibers under the board’s core whose place-ment and geometry create a stiff framework, which will increase Torsion flex. This solution makes it easier to move your energy better while taking narrow turns and consequently facilitates the slides significantly.

Carbon Spine - Wide and thick carbon belt which makes the board stiff. Carbon fiber makes the board base - similarly to a spine in a human body, additional advantage-suppresses vibration and gives faster board reaction.

TECHNOLOGY

Composite – The boards are reinforced with an epoxide-glass composite. The glass,which acts as reinforcement, has a special fiber setting and weight which makes it possible to bear all the loadings.

Core – Made from specially prepared timber which, after being cut, goes through aslow seasoning process that improves its strength and flexibility. Next, with the use ofV-technology, the cores are glued. Each core undergoes primary tests. Paying attentionto all the details lets us gain the core which in the future will certainly become theheart of our boards.

Epoxy Inside - The boards (except the core) are all glued with epoxide resin. This lets usgain strong laminates and durable bonding between particular components.

Veneer – Each sheet undergoes a quality control so as to observe any defects whichwould influence the board’s properties. Even though the best quality material is alwaysused some parts must often be rejected during a manual selection.

Scratch Resistant Graphics - Polymer protective layer will secure your graphics from scratches.

TECHNOLOGY

Alternative Ride – Our boards undergo pliability tests which guarantee that your boardwill satisfy your “flex “demands and we become sure that you get an ideal productwith perfectly designed core.

CNC Machining – Our boards are cut out with a numerically-controlled machine, whichleads to incomparable accuracy comparing to traditional cutting out methods. Youcan be sure that the holes in the board will be placed in one axle so that your trucks willfit perfectly.

Handcrafted in Poland – Every phase of production takes place in Poland,for our boards to have the Slavic soul. Our emloyees are on a special diet - lard, sausages and bigos(polish dish with lots of meat, sausage and cabbage), providing inexhaustible during production process.

SPECIAL TECH

3D Kicktail - Anatomical nose and tail providing an ideal placement under the feet.

Radial concave - Delicate concave, ideal for a city gives you a perfect board feeling under the feet while performing slides and cruisings.

Deep concave – Designed for downhill and freeriding. A flat board centre ensures stability of riding in a position, while curled edges make you control your board during the slides.

W concave – Designed for freeriding. Lock your feet on board and go make some teoside slides.

SHAPES TECH

Twin-tip - A shape designed for freerides and tricks. A switch or regular ride will make no difference.

Directional shape – One proper direction – Down!

Camber -For flexy boards, we use a Cambered profile. Camber is a bulge in the arc-shaped board. It helps to absorb the energy that is created during the carving and pumping.

Rocker -Lower centre of gravity with more board control, especially for sliding.

Flat – No camber, no rocker - just flat!

ALTERNATIVE LONGBOARDSPass ion change every th ing

„Alternative Longboards” company was established in 2011. Currently it is the best

developing longboard brand in Poland due to unique technological solutions. Our

passion to board sports made us produce the highest quality longboards. Our main

goal is to create a brand which will actively support longboards’ development.

The first prototypes has been made on the beginning of the year 2011. Since the very

beginning they have been crafted using a vertical lamination technology. The machine

park growth and constant production process improvement allowed to achieve intended

parameters of particular models. Each of the board models had the prototype model and

has been extensively tested.

H ISTORY

Since September 2014 Alternative Longboards

have a new headquarter. Moving South from

Warsaw to Nowy Sacz resulted with much larger

workspace and new machines which lead to

better product quality

The whole production process is based on the latest methods of designing and manufac-

turing. All our models are created in 3D environment, which helps us check if a board is

compatible with all kinds of trucks and wheels and lets us introduce all necessary changes

during early tests.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

Next, on the basis of projects, forms are modeled with the use of CNC machines from our

machine park. Material preparation and the whole lamination process are done by hand,

from quality inspection to placement of resin and other particular components. The boards

are pressed in HPL technology designed by the company itself. Another stage involves cut-

ting out of moulded pieces with the use of CNC machines. Finally, the board’s edges and

surface are polished. All the boards always undergo quality control before leaving the work-

shop.

PRODUCTION PROCESS

Using solutions which lead to production flexibility and having experience in working

with composite materials we are able to make a serialized custom production of boards.
