Newsflash

Not all skate shirts are black!   Check out the Silverfish Gear Page .  There are new men's, women's and kids' shirts!  (Some are even black.)

 

 We're using "spreadshirt", so you order straight from them.  Dig through the listings and you'll find some classic 'Fish designs, including shirts with art taken from member Ryan's art-pen drawings.  Check back for new designs, as we prepare to release the Fall Line (soon as Armani signs off...)

I have one major complaint: Quality Control. One of my wheels was extremely warped when I unwrapped the board, and, just after a short amount of riding (1 or 1.5 weeks), the same wheel in developing a crack.

There is also a slight difference in the angles of the truck mountings on either end of the board. The flatter end is better for cruising and carving, and the angled side, do to the angle, is much stabler. And believe me, this deck carves like crazy.I was about do a short, fairly mellow run, but then I realized that there were some bumps that needed to be checked out. They ended up fine, but always check anyway. The concave is deep and so it's a little hard to get used to at first, but when you're actually riding the board, your feet feel bolted to the deck. Also, and I know it's minor, but there was a miniscule amount of rail-bite that scraped a toothpick sized strip of paint off the bottom before it stopped. My setup is a little squirley, but my trucks are really loose. Once I've had the board for a little longer I'll write another review.
