#43 - For Charity

Built as a silent auction item for my kid's co-op preschool's annual fundraiser. There's a triangle forty2 logo forward of the front truck that is obscured in the photo. Pretty basic build but it looks nice, tried to do something that wouldn't be too crazy for the uninitiated. It's got more flex than I like in a deck, but I'm also on the heavier end of the spectrum so hopefully it'll work out for whoever wins it.

#42 - Another Slalom Deck

 My first slalom deck (#35) was a bit on the short side and a bit weird in the kick. I got tired of fighting it so I gave it to Jason and Katie over at Motion Boardshop. This is the replacement.

Not sure I'm 100% satisfied, but it's a big improvement over the last one. Better concave, much firmer kick, and a pretty good length. Still need to get serious with some cones to really know how I feel about it. Liking it so far.

#41 - Eddie's Replacement

Unfortunately, #5 didn't go the distance, and it's my own damn fault. So when Eddie let me know he would be visiting from Japan I got off my ass and built him a replacement. Better in every way and a proven design.

Still including the NOLA love, split stringer, and just a tiny forty2 logo. I can dig it.
