Mel Ruff
Ruffboards: Austria
Ruffboards is a super cool longboard brand out of Vienna, Austria that produces uniquely designed, upcycled boards with a soul - mindful of people and the planet.
We offer a unique, holistic, and highly attractive package that combines high-end design, top quality and the trendy appeal of longboarding, with the social and environmental consciousness of the upcycling approach and a manufacturing process that integrates former offenders and raises awareness about their condition.
With our highly integrative, eco-fair manufacturing process, we provide economically and purposefully attractive job opportunities for ex-offenders and use the mass-market appeal of their urban-cool products to raise awareness about their condition through media campaigns.
