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

We highly recommend using truss head hardware, pan head hardware is also acceptable. Do not use Countersunk hardware as this will void warranty.

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.

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?

Yes that is the texalium. I can use the checkered Carbon if you like that. I have a few other types also
-

The checkered does look mad as.
So an extra $80 if I want it on the top and bottom?
And what are the different types of carbon?
Thanks Steve.

Elliot . Yes $80 extra is correct for CF top and bottom. Or for another $120 on top of that you could have a full carbon foam core. I have 2 different types of 'twill' one is fine like on the foam cores and another is large weave similar to the checkers but its rectangles in a herringbone pattern.
Chris. Number 1 is the FP topmount, number 5 is the classic. If you mean the black topmount with wcave and CF base, that is $240 plus postage. Sorry no rocker molds at this stage. I may make one if I get enough interest.
