Soulboardiy was started by Drahomír Rozič and his wife Eva Viktorie. The unique part about Soulboardiy is they have torsional flex. When paired with a surfskate adapter, it makes for a soulful pumping experience.

Adjustable wheelbase: Yes
Whitetail Skateboards was started by Sophie in 2020 because she couldn't find a deck that fit her preferences. According to Sophie, "it seems every decision I made, every path I took, every skill I developed has unfolded into skate designing and shaping."
