Your post is pretty old now so I hope you will get this message - I couldn't find your email address so... will see if I have a good karma ;) My friend offered to build me a longboard and I'm looking for a template so I can design the layout and the graphics, your post mentioned you used an Illustrator template (real size) Would you mind to share if you still have it? (I really mean the layout of the board - not trying to copy your awesome design) Thank you! Melanie kllishaw (at) gmail (dot) com Hi Sam,

The design on the top of the deck is a nice graphic too. Me and a friend who both longboard are tired of buying them and wanted to build one. A lot of people say to use baltic birch. What do you recommend? Thats a sick board i cant believe you made that. The design on the top of the deck is a nice graphic too.

When you turn, the trucks turn in towards the middle of the board and up, so if wood is cut out, there is no rubbing and carving is a lot smoother. You should try longboarding though it's very fun.

Just the idea that if you wanted something to display on stage, you had to make it from wood and crap in the shop got me thinking in that direction.

Then I thought, can I make that out of kelp? Maybe. To what end? Would get mushy when wet. Wheels would fall off. Cute zen guy face would turn into a mad face (or a happy face which would be worse). Hum, best to stick with Sam's design and specs. Yep, that'd be best....It does look like a great bit of fun, though! Nice one, Sam! Mom That is very cool! Then I thought, can I make that out of kelp?

You didn't get it from me... I believe the extent of my craftiness is sanding a 2x4 to get the splinters off. On the other hand, your mother has started to make some AMAZING kelp handicrafts--- you must have inherited some crafty genes from her. Ride safe--- take chances. Dad Hi Son,
