Quote from: suetra on March 24, 2011, 03:44:20 PM

Is it fully dipped like on the sides? if not im ready to buy right now!

according to the website the top ply is stained black and the bottom ply is gonna be left natural, so you're in the clear!

my 2 open boards arrived here in the UK yesterday

THANKS PANDA

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.

depends on what you order.. i think its like 18 usd.. im not sure right now.
its stupid it cost more to send stuff to canada.. from the USA.. its not like. its THAT much farther away.

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.

the boards are gonna be a month. the shop is really busy right now cause its spring. maybe i can guilt them into doing the japan boards faster? well see.

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

Mine's still at the post office, I'll go collect it tomorrow if I'm not hungover too much.

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.

http://openskateboards.bigcartel.com/product/japan-relief

the first 20 or so board are going to have top RED stained plys.. problems with the black stains at the plant. but once its sorted well be getting them done in black,

thanks!!

hey, doodz who pre-ordered a japan relief board.
i hopefully emailed ya.. the first batch came in. to get them even at this point (it feels so long) the first batch have RED tops. i think i wrote this before.. see this picture..

please EMAIL me ASAP if you dont want the red top.. black tops should be here end of next week.. i am told.
[email protected]

for everyone else! well whatever doesn't go out on pre-orders will go into the shop.. 8, 8.25, and 8.5
proceeds - shipping and handling (shit just costs a lot! handling is like supplies and the work).. will go to japan relief.
we'll also be adding an option if you want us to give the money to say.. the south,, from that crazy tornato biz. or whatever comes from this missippii thing.. to much. but there that is. same board. i'll just give the money to the other thing.

anyways. thanks for the pactience.. us extremely small companies are low on the. .how fast your boards can get made.. pole.

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
