    Did you guys read what I said at all? Ian had to pick up and move EVERYTHING by himself. They moved the entire operation to a new headquarters. Read the article in concrete wave. Granted this was a little bit ago demand for the product is so high and him having to move everything and put it all back together and all man its no wonder. He probably needs a vacation anyway I hope he's enjoying himself. He's an awsome guy and I am really glad I had the pleasure of meeting him and skating with him (ok so i never was in front of him or even near him any time down the hill because he's a fricken beast).

    I think it's a lot easier for Microsoft.

    Default Blame!

    Demand was higher than expected, blame the damn Germans and those crazy Aussies! The move is all done, they are just getting the machinery set up! Longboardeur may have more current info. I did hear they whipped up a few slalom decks for Claude though! The decks are worth the wait, I assure you!

    last time i passed by the CNC was up and he was working on the screen printing room and the ventilation system, but this was in early fall. If people are saying he's building Slalom boards going to Ontario, then in that case the board-press is up. That's pretty much all i know. My best guess is that , right now, he's spending as much time as he can with his family. And ofcourse, building boards for all u kids that got money in their pockets cuz Santa Claus and Chanukah Harry emptied out their really deep pockets for all o'yall!

    a Kebbek board is like wine, you have to wait a while to savour it fully.

    ...I love my JimZ (Crail) Flushcut I received just before the doors were closed. Those of you who are waiting..dont rush the craftsmen. You want the high quality I received on my board. Its worth the wait. So while you are waiting for your new board..you can already line up new wheels/bearings and trucks for it. I purchased Crail's 90mm Fly's and Biltin's for it. I think its was about 2 weeks before IT arrived. Of course Mark had to grip it..(It took me 2 hours to clean up his drool on it)

    Again its worth the wait.

    I just got my JimZ (Crail) Flushcut and I love it. Luckily, I wa sable to get it just before the doors were closed. This board is high quality, so for those of you who are waiting - dont rush the craftsmen. Its worth the wait. You can always use the time to get wheels/bearings and trucks for it. I decided on Crails, 90mm Fly's, and Biltins. I had to wait another two weeks before IT arrived, though! I had my friend Mark do the grip on it.

    Again its worth the wait.

    When I was looking to buy my Caften in November I called Ian at Kebbek and had a chat with him on the phone. He's a really helpful guy and explained that they'd been moving so they didn't have any boards in stock, but he told me who he sent the last batch to in Germany, and of some other shops he knew had some in stock.

    If you can stomach the shipping from Germany, try
    http://www.longboardshop.de/shop/index.php?cPath=78_118
    It's where I bought my Caften.

    Or if you can speak Swedish

    Well, you could give Ian at Kebbek a call. I dhad a nice chat with him on the phone when I was looking to buy my Caften (around last November). He's a really great guy, he explained that they'd relocated so they didn't have any boards in stock. He told me which shops still had his boards in stock - he sent his last batch to Germany.

    The shipping from Germany is expensive, but try
    http://www.longboardshop.de/shop/index.php?cPath=78_118
    Thats where I bought my Caften.

    Or if you happen to know Swedish

    I appreciate the flattery and critique from all of you. This site is a really cool way to know if my day to day activities are actually doing anything.

    The comment about not having a business model is pretty accurate, but I assure you, I do have a passion model, and it will be released with all the rest of the decks as soon as they are done.

    Thanks to you all for your patience, I'd love to promise you a release date for 2006 but I can't just yet. I am still at this every day to every day with fathering being my only distraction!

    Happy New Year!
