Anyone know where Evo in Seattle has their decks made?

I know is a long shot but maybe someone knows the woodshop?

Clutch would be my guess.
Basing that on their O series of shapes & the existence of an O9 shape in some online literature I saw once, but could totally be wrong.
Would recommend awaiting word from an authority like Buttfart though, rather than taking my 2 cents to the market to buy a loaf of bread.

The shape of this board is quite on the square end of the spectrum if that makes any sense

[moonordie]

Yup, is clutch. Did a little IG research

Does anyone know the wheelbase on the 8.3 or 8.5 deck?  I’ve emailed and took it to Insta like a man.

Glenn Chapman sent me this a couple years ago. Same dimensions since they switched to Clutch AFAIK.

All good. I’m kinda stoked to try something with a slightly longer wheelbase then I’m use too

You're spot on Lou. Clutch O shape, which is their "trendy cool kid" square shape and my personal favorite. It's a little steeper than the quasi 8.25 and a little mellower than the FA/Hockey one, so kind of a happy medium. Here's a slightly older and more in depth version of their shape guide from their website that will give you an idea of the clutch offerings.

On that note, Flip is currently using clutch as well. The two I saw at Zumiez (don't judge, I'm in the barren wasteland known as "Texas" right now and there's no real shops nearby) were S shape (standard slightly tapered round nose popsicle) but from the pics on socal it looks like some of the team boards are O shape. Not sure if this is a permanent change or just a temporary thing because of the production delays at PS Stix, but if I had to guess I'd lean towards the latter.

cool they redid their site and added inventory. was gonna get a blank the other month but 8.25s were out. just ordered one. $35 and free ship... can't really go wrong

[TurdyBird]

Are the Foundation team boards still from China or are they coming through with PS stix on everythang?

I got the 8.3 and 8.5 I hope I’m into them if so they’ll likely be my go too. Like you said that can’t be beat.

Are these also Clutch O shape? I’ve been looking for an 8.1 O shape and if these are that... I might’ve found my winner.

got one of these Prime blanks from Socal and this thing is awesome.  but they're all sold out.  anyone know what board companies also use this wood/shape?  its the 8.25 P22 shape

That looks so sick. I love the stained blanks with aces plus the sticker job. Excellent work.

To my knowledge, I believe stereo would be your best bet for finding that same shape. I know they use the same wood, not positive on the shape. Same with Shorty's although those are somewhat hard to get and I think they use a flatter mold than usual. Probably best to just wait for the blank restock which happens fairly regularly on SoCal.

Blackout & Goodwood are prime
Go to Zumiez, get one for 30$ and sand the graphic off

jagger eaton is selling prime blanks on the berrics, but they're like 80$

These should all be what you're looking for. Graphics might not be exactly what you want but you can sticker up the blanks.

The 8.1 is the o6, so if you ever want to look specifically for that size that's what you'll want to reference. Companies with reasonably large distribution that use the O are Hotel Blue (almost all of them) and Coda (I've had 2 from them but I think they might use some other shapes too so best to ask the shop to check if you're unsure. Also like I said earlier I think Flip is using it at the moment, so if you see a newer square flip 8.1 it's probably that, but again it would be best to double check with the shop before buying.

Anyone know where Skatemental boards are pressed?

Anyone know where Skatemental boards are pressed?

The last ones here were the same as Girl / Chocolate, but that could have easily changed now.

Tired seemed to be on both PS Stix and another steeper concave with no identifying markings just like the Skate Mental wood, as they came through the same place / distro, but it could be different in other places to Australia.

I could hazard a guess and say somewhere in China, but I haven't seen any after they were all nothing but dead stock and cleared out here.

[Mbrimson88]

Pretty funny, just was looking at info on Skate Mental and a Ben Degros video came up skating one, which also included a plug for the 2017 woodshop thread on here, at about 6:30 on there - said his was a BBS wood version, but previous versions were from Crailtap, so they were Girl / Chocolate wood as I had said, video from 2017.

Also funny a comment said it felt just like a Girl deck, so in different places it might have been on other wood or still on Crailtap wood here in Australia or old stock that was being cleared out last year.

[TheBoognish]

How’s the concave on 5Boro boards ?

They’re the only South Central boards (unless that’s changed recently) I can find in Canada right now, and SC are also the only boards stiff enough that my 200lbs ass can’t snap.

My go-to brand, Morning Bell, is out of stock ‘til I don’t know when right now

Used to be a Chapman guy but unfortunately they don’t make their own boards anymore.

concave is good on them, just a solud medium underfoot and steep nose and tails. i think politic does more for shape and concave variety from sc.

Well, for any of the Clutch fans out there, if there’s a smaller brand that uses their wood on a shape you like, buy em up now while you can. 

They’re basically extorting their customers by requiring a $3 per board increase if you want your shit made, even if it was ordered months ago. And even then there’s no guarantee that it’ll land before 2021.

Obviously, this adds up quick.
 
I get that COVID hit skate manufacturing hard but this pretty much throws the smaller guys under the bus.

Sucks cause these guys basically built a company on supplying smaller and indie brands, but end of the day, money talks.

Gonna plug my buddies local brand, he uses Clutch O shape and another regular shape which I do not know the model number. He usually lists them seperate tho, square shape/regular shape or something like that. They are out of stock right now, but I just saw him post on insta they'd be in soon. He usually orders small amounts, and I usually buy 5 at a time

My local uses clutch and just got a big shipment of shop boards so I’ll grab one of those in the next week or so.
