FP Skateboards
FP Skateboards
High performance handmade composite skateboards.
Are you sick of mass produced skateboards? Are you sick of the manufacturers claims of stiffness and lightness and when you get the board it weighs a ton and has uninspired saggy flex and the dreaded torsional flex?
So were we, That’s why we have created the 2012 FP High Performance Skateboards range. Boards designed for serious riders who demand quality. These are not toys. Built first and foremost to perform.
Since the dawn of time skateboard and longboard builders everywhere have been striving to build light stiff and durable boards. Many have tried and many have failed. Some have succeeded but at the expense of cost or durability, for example carbon fibre foam core boards.
Here at FP Skateboards we believe we have found the winning formula of materials that provides this combination. Our boards are constructed with a mixture of materials that are exclusive to FP Skateboards. So exotic and amazing are these materials that we have to keep them a secret, ssshhh!
What makes lightweight boards so awesome? They carry less momentum. This means they require less effort from the rider to break out, drift and manoeuvre. Response from the board is increased, requiring less rider input. Slides become easy and controllable, giving you the confidence to hit every corner at 110%.

The Royale.
The Royale is a full on DH racing topmount. The layup features twin carbon fibre stringers. These stringers combined with the other materials come together to create a board that is ultra stiff , extremely durable and very light. The Royale can be compared to carbon fibre foam core boards in terms of performance but comes without the hefty price tag. The ultra stiff racing flex provides stability and confidence at speed. Response from this board is instant and unrivalled. The generous tub concave is complimented with a mellow trapezoidal W that extends from the back trucks to just behind the front foot.
SPECS
Length - 36.5”
Width - 10”
Wheelbase - 29.5”
Concave - 15mm tub concave with trapezoidal w
Flex - Ultra Stiff
Weight - 1500gms
We highly recommend using truss head hardware, pan head hardware is also acceptable. Do not use Countersunk hardware as this will void warranty.
$265 - free shipping
N.S.F.
Evolved from the Royale comes the N.S.F. a symmetrical topmount freeride board. It features a shorter wheelbase but the same generous tub concave, with the trapezoidal W running the length of the foot platform, so its there whenever you need it. We’ve also dialled in a bit of flex for the N.S.F, but it’s still extremely firm and responsive. Large routed wheel wells ensure zero wheelbite. Mind bogglingly light.
SPECS
Length - 35”
Width - 10”
Wheelbase - 28”
Concave - 15mm tub concave with trapezoidal w
Flex - Super firm

The Phat Drop.
Yes that’s right, it’s Phat! A symmetrical free ride oriented drop deck. It has a 1 inch drop with deep pockets and gas pedals at each end. Perfect to keep you locked in and to give you more control while doing big steezy slides. The Phat Drop also features twin carbon fibre stringers that provide a nice snappy flex to really bring the board to life. Did we mention it’s lighter than any drop board you have ever ridden?
SPECS
Length - 39.5”
Width - 9.75”
Wheelbase – 32.5”
Concave - 15mm tub concave
Flex - Snappy freeride flex

R18+
Its rated R for Rad! Our symmetrical double kicker hybrid has an 18.5” wheelbase and 18 degree kicks, which we think you’ll agree is just perfect. Very light and ultra stiff, this board can do it all.

That is awesome.
My brother is very keen on a topmount for his birthday in June. Not sure whether to go foamcore or not though.
Steve said:Ok, Anyone interested in a foam core? I will be building and testing different layups in the coming months to dial in decks that are light and durable. I will be starting with fibreglass and then moving on to carbon.
This is my first test board. Ive been riding it all day and so far so good. I just want to make sure these decks can handle a decent amount of punishment before I start selling them.
Having said that there will be a some test boards for sale for the price of materials only. I will be posting them up here and all I ask of the buyer is some honest feedback. These boards will be over engineered rather than under so I don't foresee any problems, but if there is I guarantee to replace your deck with a better one for free.
Stay Tuned....

Prices for the test decks will vary depending on the layup but I think they will be around the $250 mark. Remember this is the price for materials only. My labour is Free! Foamcores are expensive to build due to the cost of materials and the amount of consumables.
Any boards that I have for sale will be posted up here and will be on a 1st in best dressed basis, so check back regularly

Been flat out with my real job so its taken a while but here is the 1st Fat Pigeon Carbon foamcore test board. Basically just a foam version of the topmount. WB is adjustable 29 - 30" Has a subtle w cave and weighs in at 1650 grams. Constructed with many layers of carbon and a fine layer of fibreglass on the base with a textured finish to aid in the durability and stop the abrasion of carbon when scratched etc. This board is very stiff longitudinally and even more so torsionally and will be very responsive.
If your looking for a nice cheap carbon foamcore, this is it. $260 shipped. All I ask is that you give me some decent feedback about the board so I can progress. Like I said before this is a test board and if it breaks or delams prematurely ( which it won't ) I willl build you another for free, can't beat that
Also For sale is a standard timber version. Comes gripped with viscious $215 shipped.

That is such a bargin. i wish, i wish.
Looks very nice. I am doing top mounts now too, they are so good to ride. Are you concentrating on them for any particular reason? Just wondering, cause i am just loving mine. But it could just be that they are the first boards i have got super stiff and the 30" wheel base for the first time?

No reason other than its the shape I have had most interest in. I still need to be able to sell them to pay for the costs of materials. I do have a nice evo style drop deck that should be finished soon though
