The RLTH Skateboards Story

THE RLTH STORY

Real Life, True Hearts — A Skate Brand Built for the Ones Who Ride Anyway.


1. How RLTH Started – A Brand Born From Real Life

RLTH (Real Life, True Hearts) didn’t begin as a business.
It began with a problem only a skater could feel.

A young Swiss skater, frustrated with overpriced boards, inconsistent pop, and brands that felt empty and soulless, started asking himself:

  • Why isn’t there a skate brand that actually understands us?

  • Why isn’t there a deck that performs like a 150–160€ pro board, but doesn’t cost that much?

  • Why does everything feel so corporate and emotionless?

He didn’t find the brand he wanted —
so he built it.

RLTH was born from real sessions, real falls, real emotions, and the desire to build something true.


2. What RLTH Stands For — Real Life, True Hearts

RLTH means:

Real Life

The raw, unfiltered, unpolished side of skateboarding.
No fake aesthetic. No fake perfection. No fake personality.

True Hearts

Riding with emotion.
Failing, getting back up, pushing through, expressing yourself.
Skating because it means something — not because it’s trendy.

RLTH is for skaters who:

  • ride alone at night

  • use skating as therapy

  • fall 20 times and still try again

  • collect scars and turn them into stories

  • don’t quit

This brand is not “trying to be cool.”
It’s built for the ones who already are, just by living it.


3. The Technology – The HybridCore Deck

The biggest milestone in RLTH’s journey was the development of the HybridCore Deck.

What makes HybridCore different?

It’s built with:

  • 1 central HybridCore layer for improved energy transfer & pop consistency

  • 6 layers of premium Canadian Maple for classic strength, durability & predictable flex

  • Optimized hardness distribution for more control during flips and landings

  • Directional rebound for smoother, more stable pop

  • Impact-resistant mid-zone designed for stairs, drops, gaps, and everyday abuse

The Goal

Create a deck that feels like €140–160 performance,
but stays at a price everyday skaters can afford.

And RLTH made it happen.


4. The Mission – A Global Skate Movement, Not Just a Brand

RLTH has a clear vision:

1. Become one of the world’s biggest independent skate brands.
