We have two new bamboo boards in the testing stage and Adam Colton is
riding and liking.
These will be part of the 2008 line up.
New bamboo dancer but that will be coming.
The other new bamboo board is a mini dancer.
Mini as in it is shorter that the OSD. This deck we also changed the
shape. After brain storming with Adam, I started drawing a testing shapes.
We wanted something a little wider than the OSD and be able to run 76mm
wheels with no wheel bite and no wheel wells using only an 1/8"
riser. Of course the board needs to have some nice flex whitch is why
we are using bamboo it has a nice stiff flex with rebound.
So this is what I came up with and it is a blast. Still working on what
colors to paint it so you can still see the bamboo thru the paint.
This is another board I have been working on.
It is a drop through with a kicktail based off the 48" kick.
It is bamboo has a nice stiff flex but still working on. Great board
for Revenge trucks.

So here are the first pictures of the prototype Tarpon speed core.
This is a wood foam carbon with a hollow beam down the center.
This deck weights in at 3 lbs 9.5 oz
This deck gavbe me some great info for the next proto.
