Landyachtz – Revival Series (Ruby Lake) – Complete

Description

The Revival Series is about finding lost and forgotten timbers and repurposing them into high quality skateboards.  It is about using old and weathered material to create Skateboards that are both beautiful and fully skate-able.  By sourcing unique materials and pressing them into boards at our little factory in the Kootenay region of BC, we are able to create boards that are pieces of history.  Instead of being forgotten, Revival Series wood is rejuvenated, reclaimed and repurposed to live again under the feet of skaters. 

The Sunshine Coast region of British Columbia, Canada, was a logging mecca during the Late 1800s.  Demand for Coastal wood drove an industry that fuelled Britain’s industrial revolution. For this series, we’ve salvaged logs that were harvested from the Sunshine Coast region in the late 1800’s and placed in Ruby Lake for preservation while the Howard Logging Company built a rail line to their mill in Earls Cove, B.C. The company ultimately failed and the rail line was never completed. The logs eventually sank and remained under the surface of Ruby Lake for over a century.
