    Im pretty proud, took a lot of work but my buddies and I have a really cool product, let me know what you guys think! All boards can be customized and are made out of bamboo a renewable resource we source from south asia.

    You should think about expanding it to carry a few of teh higher end bikes also. High end road bike, mountain and free style.

    Have you given one to any Pro boarders so you can use their picture on your FB yet?

    Nice looking boards btw.

    We are boarders not bikers , its huge here is Socal, plus we only have the machines to make boards and our carpenter does not know how to make bikes
    We are going for a high end board, the range from $250-500..we sold a hundred boards already. 25k baby, I have to invest another 30k of my own money for a better press, lathe and tools next month. We have a distributer in Norway that is selling our boards over there as well.
    Here in mission beach everyone has a board. We sell to a lot of local shops as well

    That's pretty cool, man. I used to skateboard way back in the day when I was a kid, before skateboarding was socially acceptable. I remember all decks were pretty much the same...7 layers of laminated maple, set of trucks...if you wanted to get fancy your trucks were painted. I checked the CCS website maybe 6 months ago just out of curiosity and saw all the new materials, and the crazy prices of decks and trucks these days. Some of the decks were going for $150! Shit...back in the day you could get a full complete board for $120 with premium parts.

    I was never into longboarding, but I get it. Good luck on your new business dude.

    I lived in Mission Beach for a few months. We used to get a ride to the bar and take our boards along. It was all downhill back to the pad. 15-30 minutes later your feet were the only thing numb if you were lucky.

    Razr, if you guys get some success in the skating industry, expand in to blading. I know several people who pay top dollar for their blades.

    Cool. Yes I see those fvckers all over here now.
    My daughter got several boards, longboards, she buys them in LA. This one store on Melrose. Dunno why, guess she could buy them here.

    Do you have a board that would look cool under a man in his forties going through his midlife crisis? (I´m already wearing Ed Hardy, and have a much younger Brasilian GF)

    Well the cool thing about the boards is we can customize and brand them with whatever you want. Your name..your favorite team.. your daughters name. We can pretty much do anything the customer wants

    Awesome... They look like throw backs to the original boards of the 70s.
