i didn't know witch thread to put this in.
right now all the proceeds from OPEN boards are going to the redcross for Japan relief efforts. we have a lot of friends over there. so thats what we are doing. the boards are 50$ witch includes shipping. and 100% of the 50$ is going to the red cross.

sorry for the spam. everyone we know at Open in JP is OK.. but we'd like to help. so please if you can't buy a board. maybe tell a friend who can.
and yes. we're bitting on Real. so if you like the DLX wood.. check out their japan relief boards at

thanks!

Awesome. It doesn't matter if you're biting Real. In this case biting is a good thing.

I was tempted to buy that yellow one but no 8.5s

I was tempted to buy that yellow one but no 8.5s
yeah we made a small bunch of 8.5 Owls.. but no one ever bought one. so when we did the new stuff. we didn't make any 8.5s
thanks for lookin' though!
-
this deal reaches world wide. i dont care what country you are in.. 50$ USD gets a board sent to you.. and 50$ USD gets sent to the red cross. the more donations we can make fast. the better...
-
Already donated 10 bucks to the International Red Cross and hopefully donating 20 bucks on Tuesday and Friday im donating 20 again. PLEASE DONATE MONEY FOR THE KIDS TO EAT.
-
How long are the 8.25s?
-

Yeah dude, give us lengths so we can buy!

Tomorrow is pay day so I'll see if can make the purchase. Hopefully the postage fees won't fuck you up the butt, and we could all benefit from this one way or another.
-

yeap the 50$ includes shipping to anywhere. ignore the "usa only" in the shop right now.
i mark packages as "gifts" when going international. so you shouldn't have to pay any custom fees.

top work, order placed x 2

Definitely gonna get one after my next one, wanna help out.

What's the concave like on these boards?

What do you have in a 7.75 or 7.8x?
I have 2 fresh decks waiting to be set up. I guess I can use a 3rd lol

good to see this. props on what you are doing.
we over here at satori are working on a relief wheel too. our japanese distributor sent this over today:
Konnichiwa !
It is worst situation in japan.
Now nuclear station using MOX (plutonium) has been broken.
Japan is the sample of how worlds nuclear risk there are.
Our government and energy company never tell truth.
They keep saying it is safe.
Usa embassy in Tokyo moved to west of japan,french gov left japan (they say)
They know how dangerous plutonium is. Tell your friends on what happening in japan and keep eye on it.
WE MUST stop nuclear energy in the world for our kids and all lives of nature.
Worlds is not for human but for all lives
Hiro
Be positive and now we all japanese have to live with plutonium pollution
And We will find a way to live.

I also want to vouch for the wood and for Panda's endeavors here. You'd be helping out and getting a quality board.

I downgraded to a 7.9 and it changed my life.
And pandarelated, get those Japan ones if you want to support a good cause but we do have a wider version of the Aero coming this Summer called the Torus. Aeros are too skinny for me too but a lot of people like em.

Haven't ridden a 8" in years but do let me know when the Japan Relief Boards are ready for pre-order. Already riding a 7.875 so what's another 1/8th inch or so right?
Good work! Proceeds are going to the US Red Cross or Japanese Red Cross? Just wondering.

japanese red cross.
this effort has greatly depeleted our stock of boards for the team. so we will be making new team boards. and the japan board.
we had a summer line up ready but with this japan business it's all out the door.
we'll i want to contribute as much as i can (and yes. Open is basicly me and a friend)..
once we get the japan board settled.. that will be the only board where the proceeds go to japan.
we're losing our shirts on the current drive. witch i'm down with. for an extended effort we're going to have to move to a practical system.
i hate money, and i hate that has to be the case.. but how many 0's can one spend?
we're into the 2nd stage of getting the graphic for the board sorted. i'll be good. and gonna try to screen some t's this weekend.
i'll update on stuff as it shows up. thanks again to all the slap pal.. slap mag.. autobahn, everyone. we've raised way more then i ever expected!!!!

Dope to see company's doing Relief product to the Red Cross. Wish more company's would step up.

it's been crazy here. as a more or less one person company we've sold most of our stock.. (what you guys don't like 7.75s!) so even the team dont have shit. and i'm still doing the math. it was regular nice this weekend in nyc for a chance or i mean friday and saturday. so i skate slacked and skated.. suppose to rain and maybe snow all week.. sux.. anywhos.. will post with updates as soon as i even an idea of when it will happen.
but yeah.. also hit up autobahn. tribute, real (real vid hype!!!) check in satori.. lowcard now. i'm sure there is more.

early pre-order is available for the Open Jp relief deck. designed by Ian Lynam
8.0, 8.25, and 8.5.. black stained top. the rest plain maple.

The boards look lovely, one's been stored away in my loft ready to be hung when we finish the extension to our house and I get my office back, the other's ready to be skated once I get through my current set up.

did you get the regular graphics or the new pre-order one?
-
I received a notice from customs today that they didn't think the board is worth only $5. We'll see if I have to pay taxes on it, but because of the valuable and mighty Euro Dollar, it should still be worth it.

I was just wondering how long at most it will take the board to get here. I have one backup for the time being but school is kicking my ass now anyways haha so I got a bit of time. Also, just curious if paypal is going to charge me anything if I use a credit card or how that works. Thanks!
EDIT: To anyone who read what I had up there before, I'm a moron.

paypal actually takes its cut from me.. they do not charge you anything extra.

Ah ok. Thanks a lot.
-

semi bump..
northen japan got hit with some more nasty earthquakes and tsunami's the other day. and are having to evacuate more areas.
so we still have our relief board available for pre order. we're trying to get them made as fast as possible but as a small company.. we're lower in the pecking order at the wood shops.

my board just got here today! It looks sick, thanks man

Haven't checked the e-mail I got linked to my Paypal in a while but was pleased to see the deck got sent out! I don't believe in the red ply curse so it's okay that I didn't see the earlier e-mail until today either.. Besides, if I want to make a rising sun grip job then that makes it easier!
Thanks!

Got the notice from the P.O. Will post a pic when i get a chance.
Haven't heard a news on Japan because of other headlines taking over; Bin laden, weddings etc.
We all hope for the best recovery process

sick.. been mailing boards like crazy.
unfortunately the situation in northern japan is worse then before. ends up the reactor more or less melted down.. withing hours of the earthquake. leaving a situation worse then Chernobyle. but in a country not really with lots of space.. so.. japan will feel the effects of this.. well for as long as any of us are going to live. bummer case for sure.

Just got the deck! Good job hooking it up with some stickers and a button also!
Debating whether to grip it up right away or save it to ride when I'm in Japan later this year.
Well, I could always get another one right?
