Skate Agenda 1/2014 | Page 43

Tell us a bit about how this adventure was born...How did the idea of starting this company come about? Explain what inspired you to start this company. It all started with a spraycan in my basement when my cousin and I were about 12 years old. At the outset we started to overpaint our shredded boards with graphics. By and by we made progress in pressing boards, printing and screen printing so that we could produce our on decks. Meanwhile I started programming homepages. With the improvement our ressources of manpower gained so that four more friends of us decided to help producing. This was pretty much when we started the company and named it Reachskateboards. At this point we also moved from my basement into a bigger workshop where we installed a board press, a screen printing machine, a painting slot and a bureau. What started as hobby now has become a swiss manufactory with an inspired and creative team behind it.
