board i made for josh, got a few of this model to glass right now, to much work on though?

It is "meant" to be "LIKE" an avenger cause everyone likes to ride them, from what i have heard. But i made that outline from a stencil i drew free hand with a ruler, a pencil an four bits of A4 paper stuck together with masking tape. I plan to use that out line a bit, cause i think it looks cool. One day i would love to see an avenger in the flesh so i can compare, but will just stay in my little box and try to make boards.

If your wondering about the "bird of prey" name. Check out this clip. This bird has the best tuck of any animal on the planet. As a longboarder why not take inspiration from nature.

At about 16 seconds in you can see the shape of the bird in tuck and that is where the shape of the board and the little tip on the nose came from like the beak of a bird. They record its speed at 170 mph on that day and over 200mph later when the cameras are not there, thats over 300kph. does your head in if you think about it.

Just completed this deck to give away as a prize in my shop.

Built a prototype this week, first impressions are that its fairly stiff, about the same weight maybe lighter than a standard timber deck, and super shiny. Whole thing tip to tip is 1m, about 30" wheel base. proper testing this week.

First board I built, 4 ply topmount has a fair bit of flex I will most likely add fibreglass to it becuase it kind of feels like if I jump on the middle it might snap
