#36 - Stryker's Double

Stryker wanted a deck just like #18, but a little different. The main thing was more foot room in the back extending the body closer to the rear truck.

He also requested more contrast between the carbon and the stringer so instead of walnut I ended up using natural bamboo. Also, I added just a little red stain to either end of the stringer near the middle of the deck. It's hard to see in these pictures, but believe me, it's there.

#35 - Slalom 4 Sean

This deck has actually been done for a while. I put it together in 2 days right before Christmas. It was as much built out of necessity as it was to see if I could speed up production and retain quality. I can't.

It looks good in pictures but I missed the mark in a number of ways, all because I did everything in one layup. That's right, everything, carbon, core, fabric, stringer all in one press. It was a good idea but didn't quite work out.

The deck is a touch on the short side but it works for cyber slalom, at least for the time being. There may already be a replacement in the works, but I'm getting ahead of myself. For the time being it's working just fine.

#34 - Annie's Double Drop

Annie originally contacted me about three months ago with some non-specific questions about board design and shape and the resulting ride feel. Some one hundred emails or so later the deck is finally finished and on it's way to her.

The deck consists of three plies of bamboo and a bamboo stringer. There's a small amount of carbon fiber mixed in there to tune flex and a little bit of blue to accent the graphics. She designed the vinyl on the bottom herself and sent it to me to be applied before the final layers of epoxy.

Also, if you're finding yourself in need of some sweet graphics on your kicks, hit Annie up. Looks like she's doing good work.

#33 - Brandon's Crhistmas Present

Brandon's wife ordered a deck for. Christmas and since neither of us knew what he'd want exactly I built him what I'd want were I in his shoes, a double drop of course. Carbon fiber top and bottom, cloth up top over the carbon, and a bamboo stringer.

Since it was ordered as a complete I finished it off with some black on black Paris trucks(my favorite) and some Gravity High Grades.

#32 - Going Old School

Abraham requested a board similar to an old Hosoi Hammerhead with my own little twist. I really wasn't all that excited about the deck when I started, but by the time I got around to cutting out I was totally in love. It's such a beautiful and well balanced shape.

The deck has just a little but of camber, a decent amount of concave, nice kicks at the nose and tail, cocobolo risers, and a little kevlar and carbon in the tail to stiffen it up and fight razor tail.

It's a sexy board for sure, it might just be the next thing I build for myself.

#31 - The Shovel

Three plies of bamboo, cherry stringer, and some carbon fiber.

Dead sexy and fun to ride. I don't really know what else to say about this deck.

#30 - Mason's Mini(?)

Mason's deck was originally going to be a 32" mini but after a little discussion it was decided that a little extra foot space wouldn't be so bad.

I buried some kevlar in the layup to help fight razor tail, finished the whole bottom in carbon fiber and topped it off with a stealth logo.
