Are Habitat and Alien pressed at Watson Laminates since they're under Tum Yeto now?

[close]

Both are PS Stix

[close]

It looks like the majority of other Tumyeto brands (Foundation and Toy) are done by PS and generator now. You can look for a watson sticker on the tops but you won't find many. Maybe on a few Toy Machine team boards

Thats really a bummer, was kinda hoping they'd finally be U.S. based now.

not too much of a bummer cause quality is really great, especially on the last couple workshop boards i had. didīt PS just recently move the woodshed out to mexico or something?

Anyone heard of a woodshop called Excel?

Been exclusively skating boards made by them for a good while now and have nothing but good things to say about them planks but was just interested where they from?

I believe they are from China and supply Crailtap, along with Preduce a Thai brand.

Couldn't tell you, I've only bought the square tail Hammers boards. But South Central shapes and quality are unbeatable, you can't really go wrong.

Here are a few pics of my 8.475 Hammers board.  I think it's the same as the beloved Baker B16 shape.  The boards being South Central are just about as durable as you can get

Hope that helps!

Woah that first photo of that board shape look slick !
The second photo I believed I saw it before in the thread , I read the whole thing.
So that guy who said that tum yeto board were made by PS stick... So the shape are gonna be different ??
Also what wood do south central use ? ( IF anyone knows..... )

Edit: I dunno if its the photo or me but that nose look pretty damn long !

[N.L.]

South Central is its own woodshop and they use Canadian/ US Maple. Solid decks.

i feel like the PS made toy machine boards shapes are different.
here in our little country in europe we get two kinds of tum yet boards (being foundation, alien, habitat, toy machine)- either china made ( i refuse to ride these) and PS made. most alien and habitat boards we get at the shop are PS made. the toy boards i saw are on the mellower side compared to workshop, most workshop boards.
china shapes look, feel and skate shit to me. colors of the plys are fugly!

does that answer 'ANYTHING at all? what am i writing about?

You got knowledge of their website or something or how do you know this?, I was not able to find anything about them on search engines.

Funny to hear if this true after all the complaints people said here on the crailtap stuff, I have found them to be light and poppy compared to some other boards for example DLX stuff people love so much that feels like it weighs a ton.

Anyone know which companies have SC boards?

Just finished an 8.5 hammers orgy deck and it was probably the best ive skated in over a year.

I think SC presses for Hammers, Hook Ups, and possibly 5boro... any more?

Are there any distinctive markings on the decks I can look for at the shop?

CODA used to use South Central and I'm presuming they still do.

[garmstronger]

South Central is the best wood in my 35 years of skating.   Worship Skateboards are made there. small, east coast company owned by a dude that has kept the scene thriving in New England for years.

been skating Worship decks for the past decade, and always consistent shape, durability, and quality.  they look good too.   One of the first brands to bring back the independent, art-focused culture.   Support the small guys!!

[micky682]

Any brand that uses South Central also have some flat concave shapes?

[No1knows]

Yeah im also really interested in that info. It be great if Baker/Deathwish/Heroin moves to South Central in a near future.

Now Chapman

[Hannity]

what other US or Mexico woodshops besides South Central are known for pressing relatively more durable, long-lasting decks? PS Stix?

[No1knows]

No Offence to Paul But damn I hate these PS Stix shapes...

[j....soy.....]

Since we're rehashing this....

Can anyone run down the differences in: pennswood....SC....Chapman.....

Thank You....

[ChuckRamone]

Based on my most recent boards, I don't think the idea that Chinese wood sucks is just a myth or just nationalism. The Flip board I bought recently, which had a "China" sticker on the shrink wrap, felt plasticky and got mushy pretty quick. It also splintered and shredded when it chipped. The two American boards I've had - a Passport (Generator?) and a Politic (South Central) - both had better snap and feel to them. They also chip but they chip more cleanly. I read that in Chinese manufacture, they use pretty much the same maple as everyone else, but they take shortcuts with the glue by heating it so it dries more quickly. I think this is what causes the noticeable difference in quality. My $0.02.

Actually, Generator is Mexico. But it was better than the China board.

from having a few of each deck. all of which have been the steeper shapes which is my jam.

pennswood: stiff, great deep concave, good longevity and overall pretty happy. comparable lifespan for me to a dlx deck. kept its shape and didnt bog out.

sc: stiff, light, holds its shape for a really long time. didnt have any issues, just dont have a ton of access to their wood yet.

chapman: some of my favorite shapes/concave, for some reason i feel like ive seen more than a few warp really badly. no sure how long they were on the shelf before hand. they dont really razor tail. wood doesnt soften up a ton but all of my zoo/hopps decks got decent pressure cracks.

[j....soy.....]

That's awesome....thanks!

PS Stix or Generator?

[Jake From State Farm]

PS Stix or Generator?

I prefer PS Stix shapes. BBS/Generator boards usually feel too stiff for my liking.
