The Kiwi Thread (and no, not the fruit)

[oatmeal]

I'm moving to NZ from Vancouver, BC as of next week!
I'm staying in Auckland for around a week and then catching the train, or getting a ride, down to Wellington where I'm hoping to settle. I'm gonna sign up to neednotollie, I've been lurking there a while. Just wondering, any other girl longboarders out there in Kiwi Land?

Well i've only seen a few ladies of the board around. NNO is the go to find riders down here. Don't skip out of auckland too quick. heaps of places to ride. Will be good to have some more Canuckistanis in NZ.

I'm not even a Canuckistani! I'm from England, I've just been living in Canada land for 2 years or so. I gotta skip outta Auckland kinda sharpish because I need to get a job in Welly, sad times, but I'll make sure I give it a once over! And damnit I WILL find some lady longboarders!

yo greetings to y'all.

just wondering if there is anyone else in auck region making there own boards??
i made a couple when i was in europe but could only bring one back..
since the postage prices and exchange rates are so high its more eco.. and funn to make em myself.
if i can make 4-5 i will probably start selling them on trade me and around aucks. but to get my money back they'll be around $70 to start with. also custom built boards will be a possibility...

Didnt really want to make a new thread on this, allthough i will if no one replys.
What kind of plywoods is everyone using to make their boards in NZ, i have used Gaboon and Meranti. Im looking to find a supplier of Baltic birch or rock maple veneer but can not find anything anywhere in NZ. if someone could hook me up that would be mean. i live in wellington by the way, sweet sweet hills
