So, no concave, that's cool, but what about a kicktail?

Lovin' the site and my LDP!

Cool man, I hope that LDP treats you well...
The new slalom deck will be hitting the concrete
around March... No details yet, but there's a solid
chance it will have an Axe style kick....

Dude, I promise, the dancer/boardwalker is going to be a super fun board...
It's going to be shorter than most, under 55", probobly 53" long..
The shape is under design development now, I'm refining it till perfect...
It should be ready to go soon, in the next month or so...
I'm working on a super secret finishing, that I will be revealing soon,
If I can get it to work right...But it may not, so we'll see...

A few quick updates..
The new 09' Yandall Skogging deck has come to life.
With new a new graphic, done by our own Rodgon....

I am doing some new killer colors this year.
First up is "Grape" Here is the first grape LDP.. Soon to be in the hands
of it's new owner, Sleeveless' son, Nexium.

And the Boardwalk 54.5 is almost ready to be unveiled....
54 1/2" length, 10" wide, 35 3/4" wheelbase (inner to inner bolt holes)
I'm using a new color of electric Aquamarine on this one...
The color doesn't come across in the photo... It's like
the water at Ehukai beach.
Here's a sneak preview pic:

More new colors to come soon....

**Belegnole** · 02-13-2009 11:31 PM

Man, the color may not come through but the shape is killer! The Boardwalk looks aptly named...

**sAMOa** · 02-14-2009 09:42 AM

wow. the Yandall Yellow deck is so clean i'm afraid to get on it

gorgeous gorgeous board that will be replacing my 3 year old original that I'll be giving back to you soon for your collection. That's the board with the Seismic Avillas and Bennetts.

That boardwalker should shake up the legendary people that remember the surf style skating of the 70's.

Dude!~ Your prime time debut is happening!

Go Johnny!

i can't wait till i put in my order for that grape gtcpldp ^_^. i'm gonna put gumballs on it (or zigzags, can't remember what john recommended). John, your boards totally rock! you need to hire some minions and rent out a warehouse to make these babies.

Thanks, I think this thing is gonna be a blast... The flex is amazing..
And it should be a nose manual machine.

Thanks Yandall, I can't wait to get your old original Skogging
deck hanging on my wall...

Gumballs will work fine.. But the usual setup is Big Zigs..
Or In Heats.
Yeah, I need minions..

**arcane** · 02-16-2009 12:54 AM

Damn, I need minions too! Where do we pick them up?

Nice design on the Boardwalk man, I love the teaser pic. Nice to see some genuine originality. Can't wait to see that bad boy in full light.

My only minions are our 2 cats, and believe me, they're a ton of help...
They sign every board I make with a piece kitty fuzz
embedded somewhere on each board in the clear coat.
I don't know how I could get anything done without them...

Thanks man, I appreciate it.
When I first created the template for the Boardwalk,
I kept thinking, man this is so wierd looking..
It wasn't until I had it cut and shaped and mounted some trucks
& wheels on it, and finally stood on it that I realized what I had created.
The flex is stiffer than a Loaded dancer, but it's not a stiff board.
The flex it super snappy... And the length of the nose and tail are
near perfect, I'm hoping to have it ready to take to the Muir event
this coming saturday... If the rain decides to stay away...

**samhell** · 02-18-2009 07:30 PM

Wel, the Boardwalk 54.5 is almost ready for prime time.
I will be taking it to the Muir event this weekend.
Test rides will be happening..
Here she is set up with Bears, 70mm For Presidents, and
ready to roll..
The flex is amazing on this board...

I think I nailed the (Sex Flex) I've been after on bigger boards.

I know what you mean man, my boards have Lab and Doberman hair for added texture.

That boardwalk is looking good! Nicely set up and I love the wells. I'm jealous of those that get a crack at it at Muir.

Yeah man, animal fur makes our boards go faster, it's scientifically proven..

Thanks man, the Boardwalk should be a big fun deck,,,
You're not really that far awaay man, jump in the car and get on down...
Muir events are a complete blast.

**samhell** · 02-22-2009 04:44 PM

The Boardwalk 54.5 is now avaialble, as of today Feb 22..
PM or email me at: galacsurf@gmail.com for pricing, details and availability.
I will be offering a discount to current Silverfish members
on this board until Mar 22.
I will not be selling these as completes, decks only.
It has also be been added to my website.
This board is "BIG FUN"

**phil6x** · 02-22-2009 05:00 PM

any word on the slalom kitty?
pics? dimensions?

**samhell** · 02-22-2009 05:11 PM

The Slalom Kitty is next on the list, I should have it done and
ready by the end of March or early April.
I have the template and everything ready to go, just need the time
to get to it.
It is based off this board which is the prototype for the Slalom Kitty,
which I've been riding for a while now and have fallen in love with it.
The only difference will be the shape of the tail.

It's going to be 30.5" x 9.375" with a two wheelbases of 19.125" and 20.125".
It will only be available in black and the bottom graphic will be
this Illustration done by our own Rodgon, uncensored of course,
but will be offered in a censored version for those who request it.
The grip on it is going to be the grippiest stuff I've done yet.
It's going to be capable of shredding your hands to ground beef...

**phil6x** · 02-22-2009 05:36 PM

will a psoter of the uncensored graphic be avaliable to ?!?!/11/?!?!?!??!
haha jkk but that will be a very sick board,
im gonna havta get my grimey paws on it!
(uncensored of course!

)

**Tread** · 02-22-2009 08:44 PM

Im in NE canada and one day ill have one of your magnificently AWSOME boards out here! It is so refreshing to see creativity in this competative market, you have really carved out a niche with a line of stand-alone boards.

the GTCPLDP and the Boardwalk are 2 decks that can easily complete any quiver.

Your hard work and vision is greatly appreciated,

Hmmm... I hadn't thought about that...

It actually turned alright with the pumpkins.. definately not super carvy
bushings though.. I won a set of Paris 180's at Muir on saturday, so
I'm gonna swap em and see how they feel on it..
I have to admit, I like my boards set up a little less turny for dancing/boardwalking,
I can't cross stepp very well on boards that are super turny, it's like training
wheels for me.. But it's nothing a quick switch of bushings can't fix.
Thanks guys!
