Monarc Board Company
Owner
As a small business owner I engaged the local market of skaters, board-riders and enthusiasts. My company designed, developed, and manufactured skate decks using an in-house process that provides excellent camber rebound and strength equating to a superior board. Intensive R&D allowed our decks to test the boundaries of composite applications, while improving the overall rider experience. Monarc's customers enjoyed the benefits of a handmade, small batch product at a mass manufactured price point.
