After over 25 years within the snowboard industry, a couple years ago I decided to make my own thing! Many people smiled about my attemp to found my very own snowboard company. Now, five years later, we (which is me and my business partner Maik) not only produce snowboards, but also skis, wakeboards and skateboard longboards. I work about 100 hrs a week, but with the increasing demand on goodboards and the success we have, I now can easily smile back and enjoy what I created.
Now goodboards is a german and owner-managed brand for board sports located at the beautiful Ammersee. We produce premium boards for ambitious fans of high-quality equipment and simple design. That is why we only use high quality and durable materials for our limited series – all handmade in Europe with great attention to detail.
Also, our distribution is growing sustainably: with friendly and fair partnerships with our Core Stores and without orders from powerful big players. At more than 120 test events per year, retailers and consumers are competently advised by our team riders and us, before they can try all products for free.
