Hello Tiago,
We’d be happy to answer all your questions about our longboards. Some basic information would be that our boards are made of exotic wood from around the world and are shaped by hand. We don’t use any stains to give the boards their colour, they are all completely natural. We have both cambered and concave boards (one or the other as we are still working on a combination of both).
Because we’re located in a climate where half of the year is cold, we’ve also dedicated part of our company to building are own patented ice blades specifically for longboarding on ice.
Hope this helps and if you have any other questions, feel free to contact us again.
Cheers

Hi Adrien,
More importantly then the shape of the board, you should consider what kind of hardware you should get. The shape of the board is secondary and is more about personal preferance if you’re just starting out. I too enjoy snowboarding and find that I like to snowboard on my longboard and longboard on my snowboard so the hardware I have (winter and summer) reflect my style of riding. For a surfy, powder riding feel I use either Originals 210mm Trucks which have amazing response or Gullwing Sidewinders which will turn on a dime and is my everyday ride. Keep in mind though that these trucks aren’t designed for going fast and can become very unstable at high speeds. Also, you have to be careful about choosing your board for these trucks and make sure you have the clearance for them. The wrong board and you’ll be getting a ton of wheel bite.
If you want something a little bit more for all-around type riding, check out Paris Raw 180mm or Randalls II 180mm. After that you start getting into downhill trucks which are designed to go in one direction…straight and FAST. As far as the board goes, the shape is about preference but the features you want is a concave flat board or a convace with some camber. That’ll give you a great snowboard feel.
I hope this helps.
