A friend of mine texted me today, he stumbled upon this company that makes a bunch of random carbon fiber products from soccer shin guards to longboards as well as fingerboards.  But lol at the €60,00 price tag! I saw the video and they shape the decks with CNC and working with carbon fiber is not the easiest thing to do from what I hear, so I can understand somewhat the price but I'm sorry I'll never pay $83 for a single deck unless it's truly one of a kind.  

What do you guys think? Any of you heard of them before?

here's a link to the video: Click here

It also doesn't look like they're made by fingerboarders at all so... yeah.

I really don't know how I feel about these.
For one, $83? Completely out of the picture imo
Secondly, the shape looks pretty standard, and the only facet about them that makes them stand out is the carbon fiber and the gloss.
On top of that, I feel like these people don't really know about the true scene. Hence them not even being able to give back to the community/get involved.
BUT
Carbon fiber is very difficult to work with.
They look very nice craftsmanship wise.
And they do look pretty cool. (Just not $83 cool).

That video was kinda depressing. Maybe it was because I was expecting something a bit more formula one or fighter jet vibe or something like that.. scratch

It was nice to see them actually wearing the right full body protective gear though. You really dont want any of your skin uncovered while working with that nasty stuff. The prepreg epoxy isnt that scary in it self, its the microscopic fibers when cutting and sanding that will seriously fu*k up your health..

I saw one of these on Instagram a couple days ago, comes in a really nice leather box packaging but I would never buy one.. The difference between that and any good wood deck would be unnoticeable. If rather buy a really nice hand painted original Pop deck if I was wanting to spend a lot on a deck. I'd never use it though..

Decks look really sick though but It looks like a high kick china shape?
