The fourth competition in our ongoing Board Builders' Series was titled "carving boards" and intended to be a broad invitation to experiment with size, shape, materials and designs. Every episode in this year's series has drawn out innovative builders and inspiring designs, but this one is over the top...
Cutting Edge Carvers
Board Builders' Series #4
Salvaged antique furniture, spliced into a pintail that takes your breath away. Race-derived concaves and the creaking of bolts in a mold. Contours that no commercial board maker could ever contemplate. The perfect board for your own hills. Wood from Katrina, metalflake from the auto paint house, the fret board off a banjo and hardwood flames. What is all this stuff? Proof that board building is bounded only by the dreams and ideas of incredible skateboard builders. It's the fourth round in the Silverfish Longboarding Board Builders' Series. Twenty board builders submitting their best, all for the thrill of presentation, the challenge to build something you've only dreamed of and the opportunity to win a set of Paris Trucks.
