Launch Day
by Jesse Fournier | | 4 CommentsFor our first blog post as the new owners of Lacroix Boards, Adam and I want to start off by thanking the community for showing us so much support. It truly means the world to us! It’s our promise that we will not stop innovating our boards until they reach perfection. With that being said, we wanted to use this blog post as an opportunity to share some of the small updates we have made to the boards so far:
- All boards will now be equipped with the new Hoyt 2.0 receiver and the Hoyt Puck 2.0 Remote. Based on our testing, this is by far the best remote available in terms of connectivity and reliability. We plan to eventually bring our own ideas to a custom remote that will be full integrated with our boards in the future to come. But, for now, the channel hopping, upgraded hall sensor, increased durability, and USB C compatibility are all features of value that a lot of other remotes lack.
- Another change we made is equipping our boards with full titanium hardware. If you're familiar with Lacroix at all, you'll know that titanium bolts are almost everywhere you look. But now... it IS everywhere you look. The Barrel™ and Jaws™ 2.0 never shipped stock with these beautiful oil slick/rainbow colored titanium bolts, but now they do. Not only that, but we were also looking for an upgrade for the Hypertrucks™ and Hypertrucks™ Lite, so we now have upgraded the old stainless steel kingpin, washers, and nuts to Titanium. Stronger and lighter are just the benefits physically - they also add a touch of visual appeal with their rainbow PVD coating.
- With those two updates being a better “bang for your buck,” we now also offer free shipping inside of the US (domestic) and we also offer a "credit" for international shipments. For example, if an order is international, whatever the shipping cost is at checkout, a discounted rate will be automatically applied.
- Last but not least, we moved. We are now permanently located in Seneca SC.
Anyways, that’s all for now! We will use this space in the future to keep the community updated about the awesome changes we are making to our boards. Until next time…

Hey, I’m write happy to see the brand resurgence. The barrel was on my shortlist for my first board, then the company went under quite abruptly. A couple months later I bought my first estate from Acedeck. The first gen Nomad has been phenomenal for the last couple years, I have put over 2000 miles on it. I’ve been looking at an update in the future, and was seriously considering their big battery horizon, but if you’re running similar costs then you’ll be back on the shortlist again. Welcome back, I’m excited to see you guys innovate and build!
Do you plan on upgrading the motors. As I understand they are a bit underpowered for the current generation of boards available now. Also the website is hard to find on Google. The only way I get here is through Instagram.
Hey Gary,
We expect to have the Lemans in stock within 7-10 days! Let me know if you have any other questions.
