Jure
Jure has been a passionate snowboarder since the mid 90´s.
He´s from Slovenia, educated avio-engineer and is a heavy machinery designer.
He worked in the R&D department at Elan snowboards but he felt that he couldnt' be creative, the only option was to set-up his own brand and build the boards that inspired him, he wanted to make unique shapes just as he imagined them.
Moonchild snowboards was born that same year.
Designing boards is an true art for Jure and he always thinks outside the box when it comes to shapes and material.

Marcus
Marcus is from Sweden and the love for snowboarding started in the late 80´s. He has built snowboards since 2010 and the interest for materials made his boards really light and responsive. In 2017 Marcus got a job opportunity in the laboratory at the Capita Mothership in Austria. That was a great experince for him. His job was to test new materials, prototype new models and build boards for the team riders, some of the boards have been ridden in the X-games and the Olympics past winter. Marcus is also a vintage board collector and knows a lot about the history of snowboarding. Ask him about any snowboarder or board model and he will name it!
Our story
Marcus and Jure met for the first time past winter. They knew each other from board-building forums since before. It was a perfect bluebird powder day in the Austrian alps, the stoke level was high and many high-fives were shared. Marcus was impressed over how fun and unique Jures boards were, They had an amazing flow in the powder and all had different shapes. The seed was planted that day and later in the season Marcus and Jure decided to join forces. Now Moonchild have the full potential, our mission is to produce the most unique environment friendly quality boards on the market. We have a workshop in Slovenia where the boards are made. Support the small grassroot brands, they are doing it for the love of snowboarding! Feel free to drop us a line if you have any questions. You can find us on instagram and facebook as well.
