Ste-Marie de Beauce Contest - June 12th, 2010

Restless was present at the longboard and street luge competition in Ste-Marie de Beauce, organized by N.G.S.C. On the menu: carving, sliding, downhill, luge and a big air to top it off. The weather channel was forecasting a bit of rain, but instead we've got a beautiful sunny day. The riders, including 3 of our team: Flavien Vidal, Marc Séguin and Étienne, gave us a really good show! We also have to mention the flawless organization. The run was very well done and the animation was entertaining. Fred looked like he had a lot of fun running the whole thing from the top of his 4x4!

Restless in Cali - March 30th, 2010

This month, Restless embarked on its greatest journey to date. The decision to do a road trip on the West Coast of California was easy, but we knew going in that we’d have to make the best of it. We had to make sure our name was heard out there, where skateshops are usually only used to hearing about two or three Longboarding companies at a time. Ultimately, we needed to visit as many skateshops as possible, all the while having fun and taking in the beautiful scenery.

FFX – November 2009

The Restless crew and I were invited to set up a booth at FFX. It’s a short extreme sport movie festival organized by la VIDA, the action sport club of HEC University. As usual, we jumped on the opportunity to show off our boards to the adrenaline junkies assembled to watch the movies. Surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding and longboarding headlined the event.

Rider's Choice Contest - October 30th, 2009

What is the Rider’s Choice? It’s an annual longboard design competition. The goal of the contest is to offer anyone and everyone a platform to express themselves. Artist and riders alike will be invited to submit their artwork. A panel of Judges will then select the Top Ten best designs. The polls will open and the public will be encouraged to vote on their favourite design. The top two designs will be chosen for our next season’s lines of products and promoted across the world. Ultimately, the objective is to give the power back to the riders and allow them to control what types of boards and styles of designs we bring to the market.

Restless and sustainable transportation – September 21st, 2009

The Restless crew recently got invited to participate in a conference on sustainable means of transportation held by HEC, a world renowned business school. The idea was to introduce students to an alternative way to get to and from school. A long side such companies as Segway and Bixi, we set up a booth to give these ‘’soon to be business men’’ a chance to try out some of our products. This all seemed like a great opportunity to spread the Restless vibe and get some fresh faces to discover our passion.

FLOOD - August 17th, 2009

This is Dither from the Restless crew! I’ve been working on some of my own music for a little while now, and I’m happy to say that I’m finally ready to release it to the world. We’ve set up this page on the Restless website so that you and your friends can come download the tracks. The title for this EP is FLOOD. Every instrument was recorded using my laptop and personal recording equipment. Here’s a track by track synopsis or just download all the tracks right here .

El Salvador - July 2009

One of our friends took his Restless board on an epic trip to El Salvador, here is what he had to say.

El Salvador is mostly known for its world renowned surf spots. Some Quebecers opened a hostel in El Zonte called El Dorado. I went there for two weeks with a friend of mine. Our trip was more a surf trip, but one day when the surf wasn’t good, we decided to hit the road that follows the coast line across the country with our longboards.
