Silverfish Longboarding's 2007 Board Building Series has started off with a rocking boom!  Themed as "Short Boards & More", the contest generated eleven entries by craftsmen ranging from first-timers to old hands.  We've got mini's constructed with recycled wood, a pool board with hardwood marquetry, slalom boards and more.  Check it all out by visiting our Board Building Forum.  There, you'll find the most active board-building forum on the internet and much, much more than you'd ever imagine in terms of great ideas, friendly guidance and resources for both new and experienced skateboard builders.

Now, however, it's time to vote.   The Board Building Series on the 'Fish has always been about spreading the stoke, enjoying a challenge and rewarding those that participate with our admiration.  This time, we've got some great schwag from Bennett Truks, too.  The top three board builders will receive Bennett Vectors, straight from the factory!  So, click on into the Board Building Forum, see the Entries and then check out the Voting Poll .  It's all over on March 7th, so don't miss your chance to check out the incredible variety of killer ideas and construction our members came up with, and to give 'em all some props for jobs well done!  Click to read more about upcoming contests in the series, too.
