"The coolest brand you might not have heard of, Moonchild is the brainchild of two dedicated snowboarders who cut their teeth designing and building boards for CAPiTA and Elan. Built around unusual shapes that make the most of their depth of knowledge about how and why snowboards act the way they do, Moonchild bring old school vibes with decidedly new school tech."

Marcus
Marcus Born in Sweden and residing in Spain, his love for snowboarding started in the late 80's. He has been building snowboards since 2010 and his interest in materials has made his boards really light and responsive. In 2017 Marcus started working at the Capita Mothership in Austria. There he tested new materials, created prototypes and build boards for their team riders. If you've even tuned in to the X-games and Olympics, you've seen the boards he's built. Marcus is also a vintage board collector and knows a lot about the history of snowboarding. Ask him about any snowboarder or snowboard and we're sure he could name it.
Our story
Marcus and Jure knew each other online through snowboard building forums but met officially in 2017. 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 Jure's boards were. They had an amazing flow in the powder and all had different shapes. The seed was planted and later in the season Marcus and Jure decided to join forces. Our Moonchild mission statement is to produce the highest quality, most unique, and environmentally friendly boards on the market. Support the small grassroot brands, because 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.
