Our lights are not only fun, but can prevent tragedy making the user visible up to a mile away. Be Smart, Be Seen, Be Safe. In 2006 CEO Chad Sandiford lost a dear friend and avid surfer/skater, Matt Gray when he was tragically hit and killed by a car on his way home from a local pub. The driver of the vehicle had no idea he had hit someone until days later when the news started to report it as a hit and run. The driver never knew he hit someone because Matt was concealed by the veil of night. This tragedy resonated with Chad. He wanted to prevent accidental tragedies like this from happening to others. As an avid skater himself, Chad thought it was crazy that skateboards don’t have lights like bicycles do. He set out to create a powerful light that would easily mount to any skateboard. What Chad created was a rugged, rechargeable lighting system that could handle the abuses of a skateboard without affecting the performance of the board while producing enough light to make the rider visible up to a mile away. In Addition a portion of each sale goes to the Matt Gray Memorial Scholarship Fund or Grind for Life helping those living with cancer.
