I only know jart (Spain). Their boards sucked at first, but now they are on par with the avarage American press. Some people in Europe , Spain especially don't like Jart, because they were founded by non-skaters. I think they used to make furniture or something.

Yeah, I looked into Jart. The heads here say the boards are good again (They still can't hold a candle to Generator), but it would be sick to hook it up with a manufacturer here on the continent that was skater owned. Plus the shipping costs are gnar gnars. There is a dude who has a set up here in Leipzig but he mostly does longboards and cruisers and I don't think he could handle large orders...  Someone over here should just go for it.

Jart products are really on point and manufacture for a big part of the European companies. I think Antiz are made by jart forexample. I don't think there is any other big manufacturer in Europe

I dont think this is true. Ive had a few Antiz boards not that long ago, and I have a board from a local company that is made by Jart, and they look,and feel very different, both in shape and in wood. The Antiz deck looks and feels a little like a Crailtap board,but with stronger wood if that makes sense. And Jart boards are legit as fuck. Too bad that as a company, they suck dick.

You can be right, but concerning the shape they have tons of different press and shapes available, so it could just be a different shape.

I've had A Third foot boards in the past and they were ok. The local shop has their boards made there though and I just can't get on with them at all, maybe different shapes or something.

i think that regular antiz boards are manufactured in jart company,too. But new resin antiz boards are different so i have no idea where they can be manufactured

 Ugh, I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet on this one. One thing I have learned about doing business in the skate-game is that profit margins are pretty low, thats not a bad thing but, its something to be taken into consideration, especially when it comes to importing stuff. Live and learn. Thanks guys.
