Hi all,

I just came across this http://tinyurl.com/3bxpjl

Looks exactly like what I'm after for my next board, basically a shorter longboard, easier to keep in the car. Just wondering if anyone has ridden one? Can't seem to find a UK stockist, do you think a shaper could make one to the same dimensions?

Cheers.

I think if you gave a shaper those dimensions they should be able to make you want you want.

Any shaper worth their salt should beable to duplicate those dimentions. In fact its always a good idea to take some dimentions to the shaper then take it from there. You should end up with something that will suit you just fine :wink:

Give the dimensions and have it done locally. You want to spend all that money just for the RA decals?

Exactly what I don't want to do. The board is what I'm looking for dimensions wise but it is VERY expensive, I would never pay that amount.
I'm going to speak to the guy who shaped my last board and see what he can do.
