Time Machine Skateboards is a boutique skateboard startup born in the sun-soaked streets of Lisbon, Portugal. Founded by a duo of lifelong friends and skating enthusiasts, the company blends Portugal's rich maritime history with contemporary skate culture. Their decks feature distinctive designs inspired by Portuguese vintage art, maritime navigation tools, and Lisbon's iconic tiled facades. What sets Time Machine apart is their commitment to sustainable craftsmanship. They incorporate locally-sourced cork into their deck construction – a nod to Portugal's cork production heritage – creating boards that offer unique flex patterns and environmental benefits. The founders can often be found testing prototypes along the Tagus River promenade or organizing impromptu skate sessions that bring together locals and tourists alike. Despite their small scale, Time Machine has developed a passionate following among Lisbon's growing alternative sports community and eco-conscious skaters across Europe.
