Progress Update: 10/4/13

Altus Longboards has made noticeable progress since our last post. We've accomplished several major things:

1. We have decided to make our first board good for cruising and slow freeride. We decided this for several main reasons. Firstly, it is the most appealing to the vast majority of our potential customers in the community. Second, honing in on one style creates clear goals for us to gauge our success with.
2. We have created a list of initial materials and a budget for acquiring these materials. So far, we have come to a total cost of 200$ to manufacture the first four 'practice' boards, including the initial press, which can be reused. This means that each group member will have to contribute a total of $50 dollars to the board.
3. Takaaki Sagawa spent hours designing our steezy logo. It looks great and we plan to have it on the bottom of our first few boards as the graphic design.
4. We have been thinking about a vague marketing strategy of making stickers for Altus Longboards and distributing them, as a way to spread the word in the community about our company. No final verdict yet.

We're all pretty stoked to start building the boards. Here's a picture of the logo:

Stay stoked!
