an in-progress preview from the wefunk labs

[FlyKneeGrow]

just got an update from alex today on the custom 32x8 he's working on for me.

fresh out of the mold and ready to be shaped - check out the photo:

would it not be just the coolest thing to have access to the wefunk shop for a while...

that board is pretty, i love the grain on the bottom there, you gotta be stoked to have that thing

[EBasil]

Mannnnnnn...such a good looking blank!

[ryan]

I think I just may order one of those, how much do they run?

more than a mail order bride. and if you have one, you wont want a mail order bride anymore.

it's a modified version of his -HYBRID- slalom/commuting deck (base price listed on his website. the actual price will depend on design choices, materials, etc).

for a one-off blend of art and science, form and function, natural and synthetic, it's well worth it...

[ryan]

Hmmmmm, I'm really thinking about gettin one.
The only thing that's holdin me back is that its gonna be my campus cruiser and I would be thrashin it pretty hard. Such a nice deck!!!

[Converse]

I could never ride it! If I got a scratch I would never forgive myself. Boards that pretty should be on the wall.

blasphemy, thats like paying chip foose 150 grand for a hot rod and never driving it, just aint right, ride the #### out of that board, its not a trailer queen, its a well built board.

ryan, i'm still waiting to see someone cruising around here on a speedbone...

[FlyKneeGrow]

make no mistake, this deck isn't destined to be wall art despite its obvious beauty.

instead - it's getting a fresh set of Bennetts, some 66mm ZigZags, and some yet to be determined custom grip job as soon as I receive it. immediately after which it'll be under foot and on the street. i'm not the collecting type.

props to alex - the guy's got mad skills...

Ha,ha, I have actualy ridden it to class a coulple of times.
Alex that deck is sick! I have always loved the zebrano rosewood combo those things make me drool.

[Nacho]

You are gonna love it!!!
I have a 37" kicktail wefunk and it's definetly my favorite ride. So special and different from anything else!!
And it's used as conmutter. it already has some scars and a couple of plastered points But it is so fun to ride that you 'almost' forget its beauty in a couple of weeks!!

[SpookTheHamster]

Whenever I wipe the muck of the bottom of my Wefunk I'm always amazed at just how shiny it is, it's like a fricken' mirror!

This is why I scoff when people compare builders to wefunk. For the most part, there is *NO* comparison.

Thats questionable. Personally I've never gotten speed wobbles on a mail order bride.

...But you will need gloves.
