Hello, can anyone give me any info on this board and if I got a deal on it. It's in really good condition. No dents or cracks.

Thanks!

It's a reasonable standard longboard, if it s in good condition all is good!
Post a picture sitting flat that shows the rocker and fin set up, that might help in accessing it.
As to price if you happy with what you paid all good! :lol:

Thanks! Three fins. Larger one in the middle. Smaller ones to the left and right of larger. I have to replace one of the smaller ones.

Are the fins glassed on, or in a fin system ? The reason a side on picture can help it show the rocker and important factor in how the board will ride! :lol:

It looks to be hand made, which is generally good or at least suggests some level of thought and care has gone into it. If you can track down details of the shaper/company and contact them with the board number (14801? a bit unclear) they will be able to tell you when it was made and by whom and other details, such as best conditions etc.

But it looks like an entirely suitable board. Its a bit dirty but you can clean that up if you wish, just strip back all the wax and re-do it.
