Wow. This board has so much history we don't know where to start. It's not flexdex® composite material. It's made from a virtually unbreakable plastic based on the carbon atom. It's perfectly clear and it's only 12mm thick. You'll find the ride is smooth and seductive... and FUN. This material seems to soak up the road vibrations more than the regular flexdex® material. It's really quiet. Plus - you can see the road go by underneath! The first model based on this material was for Ebone's son, Jordo, who wanted a surfboard shaped see-thru deck. Since Ebone's main business was a plastics manufacturing business, they started cutting lots of decks from different materials until they found a material that stood up under a 13 yr old's punishment. Jordo put little strips of clear grip like flames all over the board and took it to his surfing contests. Needless to say it was a hit. It was so popular that it got stolen within a couple of days! The clear decks had many variations. One of our best riders set up a deck with risers and 70mm's for drainage ditches. And we noticed that the girlfriends really liked the board. So the clear decks evolved into the "Wahine" board. Same deck, but we changed the wheels and trucks to be more responsive to women riders. We listened to their input and sold the boards with small pieces of grip tape cut in floral shapes for them to apply themselves. This re-issue of the Classic 29 is for all ages and sex orientations. Smooth and silky ride using 62mm Kryptonics wheels will put a big smile on your face every time you ride it! Every quiver needs a clear flexdex®.
