    If I can recall the Germans do not like to have products manufactured in China. I am still curious why Paris trucks are made in China. Randals are made in the USA and are able to make a profit. My question is do you really need the oversized SUV and houses being a manufacturer. Sorry to mention the China word again but it is a very important issue these days. Yes I do work with Randal.

    Perhaps since you are in Germany you can find a country to manufacture which has lower labor rates and better human rights policies in the EU. Best of luck. If you want to get it done you can.

    What a killer deck!
    Reminds me of the first powell Quicksilver advert. Kind of mysterious....
    Having spent much time milling trucks I have to hand it to your bro for doing something so understated. It's art.
    I love the unpigmented layup too.

    Thanks guys.
    This deck is a copy of a 70's Puma longboard with loose-ball bearings, just increased in size. Will make some pictures, when i will get it in my fingers.

    The thing with China was just a hint for GPump, how easy it is to get in contact with a foreign company, if you will. I just forgot to put that smiley behind that sentence:
