hey guys! finally managed to get myself some money to buy two Surf Rodz RKP 200mm with 60mm axles and 45° baseplates. That was tough I and finally forgot going directly via Surf Rodz. I went as most of the time with my friends at Sickboards. Colorwise… we went a bit on the wild seduction side. Pink & Gold. Yes I know.
For the wheels I’ll put some 85mm blue Otang Caguamas.
I’ll put some Epoxy 2K Matte on the deck to protect.
For the setup, well. I may be heading towards a dual rear UNiK setup 6355 ; 15/32T on 12S4P? That should be decent.
For the mount, I’ll modify one of my UNiK dual core and get a new pattern for the Surf Rodz.
So Interested. I actually like raw finish a lot more. But raw finish is very prone to dirt and stain. It there anyway to get around having raw but not get dirty?
Hmm. Then I guess the raw deck is only good for the cheaper price then. If that’s the case, still interested and will be giving it my own magical touch.
this is a builders forum, @monkey32 and @okp already have made some modifications to the exterior of the deck, so its just logical that many others also want to play around with finishing. Painting, diferent varnish colors, epoxy etc.
Not posted yet, but they‘ll do it on their respective built threads I guess.
I think the raw one would be without logo, or maybe optional if it can be printed over non-treated wood. Although the main objective of that deck option is to minimize the finishing work (witch takes surprisingly a lot and its done mainly by my father in his off time)
how does that affect the finishing on the raw wood?
simple and quick.
