Skate Agenda 6/2014 | Page 34

Looks like that your work is the perfect work for a skater ,but what are some of the drawbacks to this type of work? My job is a passion so hopefully there are more good things that bad things! Well I love my job but let's say that sometimes the communication could be complicated. It could be difficult to make understand to some of my clients things regarding the quality and size of the files they provide me to produce their boards properly... But my job is cool and I'm working in a very good and serene atmosphere so ''no pressure'' and that's true it's a kind of perfect job. I'm aware of it! I must admit that your boards are really strong. The main ingredients I think are the passion and love for the skateboarding. But can you reveal us what's the secret? Of course the love for the skateboard is the main ingredient! The secret to offer our great board is very simple: We don't want to offer and we will never offer boards that we don't want to skate ourselves! We are very proud and confident in our boards and products we do. ArtPrint is known for its great boards and prints quality but we also provide products like wheels, griptapes, skate shoes, skate bags, tee shirts, caps, beanies, sunglasses.... All of them are customized, even in small quantity. How long have you been making these boards? ArtPrint started in 2001..... 13 years already! We make those Canadian mapple boards at the same factory since 2006 and that’s the best skateboard manufacturer we found, ever. We have very great feedbacks from all our customers with these boards. We used to work with another north American manufacturer from 2001 to 2006.
