The urge to create within or linked to the skateboard world laid the foundation for Slinger Made. A design studio that works on commission but also launches its own products, as traditional skatebrands do.
More than 10 years ago a video segment ran on skateboard platform The Berrics, that pushed skaters to use a select couple of shaped obstacles in the most creative ways. It was called 'Skate & Create'.
A phrase that perfectly fits Slinger Made. Especially when a reference to recycling gets squeezed in there!
After a board breaks or gets too beat up it is still a very high quality type of multiplex. It even has colors and curves! A shame to just throw away. Let's give them a second life!
Slinger Made is experimenting with two things:
1. Designing products that make sense to be created from old skateboards. More of these products are coming to the shop!
2. A deposit system to stimulate returning broken and old boards. The first board with a deposit on it is coming to the shop. Following Slinger Made boards will probably all have deposit on it.
