We are now offering four base models, with specs, detailed descriptions, and better pictures on the site. http://www.nelsonlongboards.com












the boards are available with the graphics shown on the site or custom graphics at no extra charge. also custom shapes are still available and will be priced similarly to the offered models.

also a video it in the works which i'm pretty excited about, we have most of the filming done so expect that in the near future.

let me know if you have any questions or comments.

how much for the vanguard er i mean... seasoned carver

yea i understand though the nose is diffrent and the board is wider that they are strikingly similar, i made one for myself a while back and got a lot of interest in it though ill probably make some changes to it soon to distinguish it a bit more.

but anyway its $85 and heres more info on it Nelson Longboards - Seasoned Carver, and the shipping is would likely be around $15

o and heres a video of the flex

what kind of wood is the seasoned carver made of?

what kind of wood is the seasoned carver made of?

all of the boards are made of baltic birch plywood, that board has three layers of 1/8th inch wood, with fiberglass laminated between layers as well as two layers of glass on the bottom

[a_speck_of_dust]

[soulrider]

yea but cheaper and it actually has a nose to manual with unlike the vanguard

I like the seasoned carver, I think you have a good thing going for you. I hope your buisness takes off like a wild fire.

met him at sultans hes a cool dude and his boards are pretty sick too i rode the seasoned carver for a little bit and it was sick but i ws a little too fat for it so i got off lol

[Rich Nelson]

thanks guys for all the comments, I've got some free time and I'm probably getting some grizzlies in a trade and i have some zigs and strikers lying around so I'm probably gonna make a new board for them. Just not sure what kind yet possibly a dancer or a midsized board with a decent kick tail.

or a dedicated free ride board, with decent concave and a small drop to create a nice grippy pocket for your feet...

A Few Updates, I finished two boards today one for my housemate and the other is heading out to Australia to ntthrepo.






I will be adding the minis to my current board line up for $45-$50 (which includes clear or regular grip and a fiberglass reinforced tail, your cutom graphic, and wheel wells). You can get this shape or design your own as long as it is 29" or less. Also, I will likely be offering a new truck and wheel package for the minis which will include Tracker 149s, 65mm Kryptos, bearings, hardware, risers for about $60.


Also I just received a shipment of Nelson Longboard high quality vinyl stickers.

These will be shipped out with all board orders, and also likely be for sale for like $1.

These update are not yet reflected on the website as I have been to busy working on boards to update it.


Also keep you eye out for a few new boards in the next week or so, one with a shape I am very excited about.

definitely I'm always up to skate and up at school I don't have anyone to skate with, and there's no particularly good places to ride around here that arn't covered in cars.

as for the board I'm working on three boards at the moment but should be finishing them up by mid next week. send me a pm about your boards if your interested in getting one made.

[gordo6987]

will do, but im about to pass out so ill do it tomorrow

Just shipped out three new custom decks.



shots of all three together




This is the carbon drop through, minus the drop through and with red instead of the silver texalium, and purple on top. It has a mellow concave and camber, as well as an extra layer of 1/8 BB to accommodate a heavier rider.




Another carbon dropthrough but with red graphgic on top, made with a new 1/2in deep concave mold with no camber, also with an extra ply for added stiffness, after jumping on it I can't get it to flex more than a 1/2in or so.




Lastly a new shape that i'm pretty excited about, 37"x9" with cutouts and a kicktail. the kicktail is reinforced with fiberglass and carbon as seen in the above pic to keep it functional, and also has fiberglass on the bottom, it has a medium flex under my 180 lbs. Seems like a really fun board, i'm probably going to have to make one for myself. :-/ . Also I still need to think of a name for it, probably something bird related, like pheonix, or bird of prey, dunno if you have any ideas let me know if I like it I'll send a few stickers your way.

I really like the look of the exposed carbon. I'd love to see an LDP deck made like that...would that be something you'd be into making?
