#20 - The Long Distance Pumper

I built the LDP deck for myself as an experiment in localizing flex. By using two different hardwoods for the stringer I was hoping to make the deck more reactive in the back as to have less of an effect on the front truck.

The shape was inspired by another builder(with permission) and modified some for this build, I really like the modern look of it and the shape offers a lot of real estate for my front foot.

It's quite the comfortable deck and pumps nicely. There are some small things I'd change in a future deck, but for now I'm pretty happy with it.
