Its dead up here for half of the year, First snow was today so that slows us down a little, but it is more time to work on boards. However, once spring hits, 24 hour daylight cannot be beat. There is nothing like a midnight ride in the sun.

As far as pics specs and everything else. We are still in the prototype stage. We are planning on five decks and already have three designed. Sorry to keep you waiting, but we will have it all out soon.

Where we stand right now:
We are trying to market to people in our area / grow the longboarding community here in AK. there is a large skate scene, and longboarding is growing, we want to push that hard and see where it goes. We are passionate about what we are doing, and we want to make sure we are doing it right before we expand our market. However, we want to get the word out there that we are starting something and if nothing else, let all you fishes know that AK won't be left out.

There is a lot of sweet area to ride up here and like I said before, Midnight sun riding cannot be beat.

Thats all for now, Bear with us for a little while and we will try to have pics up.

Sweet looking board. How much are the boards going to be?

fiVes · 12-22-2009, 08:45 PM

Here is Deck 4, Sold, But currently our most used design. Symmetrical drop through design, No kicks on this design yet.

H: 42"
W: 9.5
WB: 36" or 38" Optional 38" Prefered

This is the completed deck, I apologize for the blurry picture, and please note it is taken at an angle. the width of the deck is consistent throughout

this is the deck before the logo was applied, and before finishing with sand and clear coat.

If you look at many of the larger boards out there it is really not to much. Keep in mind this is one of our larger boards.

I really love this board, i recieved it for my birthday and have been using it ever since. I love the style, the quality work that went into it was great.

This is my first longboard so i dont know what to say about it, but I'm in love with this board.

Deck 4 is looking good..maybe make a smaller option available...like a 38" or something. Cheers
