Deck Brands By Woodshop and Location

[october]

Were more boards made in Canada 10 years ago? I remember the people at the shop always trying to sell me on hard rock canadian maple. Its weird to see that Selfish is the only company rocking Canadian wood now

Pretty much every manufacturer I know of uses "hard rock canadian maple", the boards themselves are just manufactured in America.

[Basingstoke]

Canadian Hard Rock Maple is something that was as a term created by the skate industry, what they are referring to is knowna s Sugar Maple and in North America.

Send Help boards all have a sticker on them that says "made in the midwest". The only manufacturer in the midwest that I know of is Point in Las Vegas.

that's the closest shop to the midwest I could think of.

and to the other guy, pointdistribution.com

There's NO WAY that Send Help is out of Point. Point does a lot of the local shop decks and a lot of the smaller local companies out here, and there are certain things about their decks where you can look at them and just know that it's a point deck. Send Help is for sure not Point.

An honor for anyone to know my brand.  South Central is pretty awesome.  i personally have them make my own 2 boards a run in a flat mold, which they do for me no problem... the wood seems to keep its pop pretty long as well.  I was always a prime fan but you get more bang for your buck with South Central

[DISTANT RUMOURS]

Has anyone skated the new aws heritage decks?

I ordered one and the nose and tail are very 'square' compared to other decks.
Extremely big nose as well...

I was kinda bummed when I got it, but i must say it is fun once its broken in.

[Noble Experiment]

AWS decks are weird.
With a good chunk of board companies their shapes stay pretty consistent for the most part (like DLX when you buy an 8.25 or 8.5 you pretty much know what you're getting, because their shapes stay consistent. Same with Bakers, you know youre getting a rounder/pointier shape every time), with AWS the shapes vary too damn much. You could get an 8.5 deck with a mellow concave and rounder shape and dig it, then you buy another 8.5 from them again and it's super squared or pointy and steep and it feels like shit. There's little consistency really, at least from what I have seen. It's probably because they have their boards coming from like three different factories the last time I checked.

[KMAC]

is deathwish still bareback/generator? i could get one for cheap, but im skeptical about the quality..

[lk130]

Sampled some boards, and was not a fan.

[october]

Sorry, realized how vague I was. I sampled some boards from pretty much every manufacturer last year, Clutch being one of them. The boards felt very cheap, and the heat transfers and printing were poor quality. I believe they are under new ownership now, so things may be different.

[dillanharp]

Thanks October, we got a few samples. I like their pricing, something about them runs me wrong.

Do you, or anyone for that matter know who would run 25 boards? I can't see myself moving 50 for just a little project and ending up with a closet full of boards.

Drifter Skateboard Mfg. out of Atlanta will do a minimum of 25 boards. They make decent quality boards, I just wasn't happy with the printing. (Which is something they could have easily fixed). Great customer service too.

When I last spoke with Glenn, they wouldn't do less than 50. If they will do 25, I would definitely go with them.

That was the plan. When we started this Chapman would do 25, but once we got the ball rolling a little they switched it up to a minimum of 50. Granted we didn't have anything ready, just looking at prices through their website. Kind of through everything off and we're back to finding a wood shop.

Bump.
With people asking about who presses who's boards in the setup thread, I figure we should revive this thread.
