Discussing esk8 deck: "Doobie" 39" Deck with Kicktail & milled out area for electronics

You could maybe go down a couple mm

drangboards · January 8, 2019, 5:55am

Yeah, the problem with this one that makes it harder to go deeper is that it has radial concave. Right now it is 11.11 mm deep. If I do 1 and a half more mms down, then there would only be 4 plies at 4 different points along the bottom of the board, and it is a bit of a risk. I am willing to make it if people all agree.

Well the hummie deck has a little flex

At the moment this has zero flex

I’d rather have a deck with zero flex but the enclosure be 2mm taller

drangboards · January 8, 2019, 6:01am

This deck has a 26" WB, and more concave so yes, the hummie will flex tons more. This could be a 8 ply deck and it wouldn’t flex much.

drangboards · January 8, 2019, 7:47am

Btw no such thing as zero flex but it makes sense that you want as little as possible.

Less is definitely better in this situation.

drangboards · January 8, 2019, 9:33am

I’ll try to route the top and bottom rails tomorrow and prep sand it maybe coat it too.

If you made that deck a 8 ply and same thickness of the cuts would be even better… Make it as light as possible

drangboards · January 8, 2019, 4:31pm

Wouldn’t work

mikenyc · January 8, 2019, 5:15pm

Well, there is this

moon · January 8, 2019, 5:16pm

He actually mentioned it flexes

mikenyc · January 8, 2019, 7:07pm

maybe he needs some more layers!

BigBrit · January 8, 2019, 7:24pm

Interested depending on price.

$150 - I’m in $250 - I’m out

moon · January 8, 2019, 7:25pm

That would be the same for me

drangboards · January 8, 2019, 9:27pm

For the group buy here we’ll be as low as 175 shipped inside the usa, but retail price we’re going to try to set at 185-200 before shipping.

drangboards · January 8, 2019, 10:21pm

We can go all the way down to $125 shipped if we get 30 people in the group buy. If we get 20, the price will be $150 shipped in the USA.

goldrabe · January 8, 2019, 10:26pm

I really like the deck! Nice work. What will be the price for International guys and girls?

Indiangummy · January 8, 2019, 10:38pm

20 is doable. Idk about 30. Bad timing right now after holiday season

Skunk · January 8, 2019, 10:45pm

It’s probably gonna take a bit to fill a list to 30 but its doable. Waited a few month on my hummie deck, same kinda thing. Im willing to wait.

Our DHL game is strong, we would only need to add $50 to each order if it is being shipped in a single box direct to you. The other way to go about saving on shipping would be to ship all the overseas boxes to a single location and have them all shipped from there individually. Might be able to keep it down a bit.
