If you haven't checked out the handcrafted longboards that Mike Mahoney and his crew produce using a recipe of cabinet-makers' skills and skaters' stoke, then be sure to click the link at the end of this piece to see everything they've got going. In the mean time, check out some news... Honey Skateboards' AMP Series The AMP decks all have comfortable concave and are cambered to enhance rebound when carving turns. Constructed of five core layers of hard maple, the glue we use in our laminations has been specially formulated to match the flex and rebound characteristic of the hard maple of the core laminations. This ensures that the laminations in the deck are working together creating a consistent and lively flex pattern. We top them off with a stringer pattern of mahogany and maple that’s carefully matched on both the top and bottom of the deck. They look like hardwood v-lams, but perform like a classic ply board, and we finish the decks with a crystal clear grip to show off the beauty of the wood. Click through for more...
AMP Series' Concave The AMPS come in two sizes: The AMP 2 is 32" x 9” and has a 26 5/8” wheelbase, measured axle to axle with Paris Trucks. It's $196.00. The AMP 6 is 36" x 9 1/2”, with a 30 5/8” wheelbase, axle to axle, and goes for $199.00. Under 175 lbs. the AMP series decks have a static flex of 5/8”, creating a perfectly turned ride for the aggressive carver. Both are sold with 69 mm, 80A Seismic Hot Spots and Paris trucks and are ideal for carving sweet turns, running cones and cruising. These decks are so new that they're not even on the Honey website yet, so email Mike Mahoney if you're ready to get AMP'ed or have any questions. Use the Contact Us tag after hitting the link, below. As with all our handcrafted longboards, each AMP is numbered, dated and signed by craftsman Mike Mahoney.
