heres some photos of my pintail longboard i built.. :)

2X 6mm birch plywood glued together and suspended with weights to create camber. the tiki heads design was woodburned on with my trusty soldering iron (took agesss).. i cheated with the design on this board, they are tattoo designs (but shhhh) i combined the three into a totem pole for the longboard..
Jessup grip tape - cut out a name for the longboard, 'Kaholo', a hibiscus motif and racing stripes.. in the photos, the bolt heads aren't visible because i put the grip tape on AFTER mounting the trucks, which was a mistake.. but i have since cut away the grip tape over the bolt heads with a dremel.
trucks are overstock used on Lush decks i picked up cheap, 9.5" hanger. they're sat on wedges.
Mindless cruisers with Enuff abec 9 bearings :D

i'm hopefully going to build a press to make the next one, so it has some concave as well as camber, and maybe a bit of kicktail aswell.. and my next one i am not going to be lazy about design, come up with something myself :P

anyway here is Kaholo, my first,..its pretty fun, nice smooth cruising :wink:
