who makes habitat boards? i know kayo, deluxe, and ive read on here that magenta all use the same wood, which is sick because all of their shapes are amazing. a lot of concave and a steep tail and nose

kayo and deluxe are made by the same factory. im pretty sure its bareback/generator, but i could be wrong

I was board shopping online the other night and saw that Westside Skateshop in FL carries Magenta boards now.

$50 shipped.

We've had him since XMas time. Our old neighbors in Beaverton couldn't keep him, so we took him. We love him, he's a good dog for sure. We have a little Chihuahua too that was a rescue dog. Really digging the small dogs. Like cats with more personality.

if its the same as the Santa Cruz powerply's i wouldnt recommend it.
I had a SC Powerply a few months ago and it was so bad, it was too flexible and lost all of its pop in a few sessions, it just felt bad.
although i did have one years back and it was amazing.
i heard that in the last year or so NHS moved its manufacturing to china so that could explain the differences in quality between the boards

all boards are made with North American maple.

When someone says "china" board, it just means the wood gets shipped overseas and gets pressed in China. According to many people, the wood deteriorates during the shipping, which results in lower quality boards.

BraveUlysses · « **Reply #5633 on:** April 08, 2012, 09:56:34 AM »

Yeah I thought I was saying something stupid when I posted that. That sucks that Creature boards are China wood. Not many companies that I like make wide ass boards on the regular.

North American maple isn't very good for skateboarding. It's not as tough as canadian hard rock maple and is usually cut much younger than good shit from canada. Try to stay away from companies that use american maple.

Creature's aren't very durable. I'm all about Fickle Boards. They're made by hand and last fucking forever. Best skateboard I've ever ridden.

I get that you're full of passion and excitement for this company you love, but seriously buddy, pay a little more attention at school.

oyolar · « **Reply #5637 on:** April 08, 2012, 12:34:27 PM »

Jesus Christ man. We get it. You're all over Fickle's dick. But not everyone wants to buy their shit. You just sound like an annoying commercial now. I hope they're paying you well.

Wh0l3 · « **Reply #5638 on:** April 08, 2012, 02:57:24 PM »

"North American Maple" usually means shit from the great lakes region.

My enthusiasm comes from a company that really cares for their product.

Their wood is better than anything I've ridden from Deluxe, Creature, Hopps, Stereo, or whatever other boards I've ridden recently (Can't really comment on them old planks as memory is hazy)

I don't know of any other company that will make custom sizes and shapes for you by request, and makes every board per order by hand.

I just get pissed off by being ripped off by companies' marketing bullshit. A good deck is simple to make, it just takes time and care.

I understand and respect deluxe as a brand, but they just don't make good skateboards.

I brought up fickle here because I went from a riding a 9x33 Creature to the same size Fickle and the difference was night and day. Creatures snap, Fickles don't

I don't mean to sound like a condescending broken record, but I've saved a ton of money with these guys, and have had a much better time skating on their wood.
