‘menhir’ by french company ‘trust in design’ is a  9’’6’ longboard with an original shape – ideal for nose-riding enthusiasts. ‘menhir’ comes from the french word meaning ‘standing stone’ and the board is reminiscent of old pictures of pioneering riders, standing proudly next to their masterpiece. along with its unique form, the integration of an all-over mineral pattern, is embroidered directly into to structural textile of the board. the design of this piece makes thee surfboard look like a religious, totem object once again.
