right on johnny boy!

wheel wells are important as they help with the elevation of the deck off the ground. some people like being close to the ground to push, while my design has the deck high in the back and low in the front. For my style that helps with thrust pushes while deep in the middle of a carve. long distance riding is yet to make it's debut as a common skating technique simply because it ain't that popular yet.

i would like to get a board similar to what I had when I did Pepsi shows back in the midwest. Your balboa design is what I need for a good nose/tail. I love it!~

BUILD IT DUDE!

I'll post pics later of a board without the stripe and
with the wheel wells.

Props for the wheel well option. That extra bit of travel will make a difference.
I love my GTCPLDP. It's my go to board these days. It's so much fun to ride I just don't ride any of my other boards. Keep up the good work!

So, I got to ride the Balboa. Pics really don’t do the board justice. The beauty and quality is well worth the wait. I took my shoes off to feel that griptape, and if I had the cajones to do so, I think I would skate this board barefoot all the time. Plus, look at this paint. I didn’t know if I should skate it or eat it.

I mounted it on a Bennet 5.0/ Tracker RTS combo and Bustin Bocas. The shorter wheelbase lets you do fast, tight pumps while the longer wheelbase lets you do longer strides. I find that I prefer the longer wheelbase since I can keep my groove better, and it carves great. I have yet to set out on some long expeditions but from what I can tell, this board is a keeper.

Routed wheel wells look so legit. Unmatched professionalism in my opinion.

For sure. When I find my camera, I'll definitely upload some pics.

**floridais4lovers** · 06-30-2009 06:45 AM

Okay, finally got a hold of my camera. Here's the beaut:

Love this board! I only wish I had more time to ride it

**samhell** · 07-02-2009 02:27 PM

Crystal thanks for posting those, awsome!
I hope you have miles and miles of fun it.
I recently just opened a Cafe Press store,
right now I only have mens t shirts and hoodies,
but I will be adding more very soon.
Here is the link to my Cafe Press store.

Also, I have been working a modified GTCPLDP Deluxe that I will
be posting pics of soon, I have 2 of them in the works right now.
It will have a refined flex and some router magic...

**samhell** · 07-02-2009 02:57 PM

Here are some sneak shot of the GTCPLDP Deluxe
I'm working on. Please excuse the blinding whiteness
in the direct sun, I'll shoot some better lit ones later.

Do you have any of the Balboas cut? I just found out I am going to Cape Cod on the 24th and I'd like a mini

Cool!
Here is a shot of one going out tomorrow,
a GTCPLDP with front wheelwells...
The wheelwells are going to take these to
new level, 1/4" more clearance, and added flex
in the right places...

**floridais4lovers** · 07-02-2009 07:07 PM

That's hot. I don't suppose you're going to be offering to retrofit some boards...

**Veg** · 07-02-2009 07:19 PM

You took the GTCPLDP to another level, it looks very functional. Once again you released a deck that will spread stoke to the far reaches of this planet one pump or push at a time.
i hope to own a Galac one day, wait a sec, I WILL OWN A GALAC DECK ONE DAY!

Just Amazing, im finally at a loss for words.
