You could try Briggs Veneers (http://www.briggs.com.au/veneer_skateboard.php) - I've heard they have Maple - it's hard to come by in AUS - impossible down here in Melbourne. Bamboo up your way... hit google. Fibreglass and more exotic reinforcement (Carbon Fibre, etc) you could try Nuplex (http://www.nuplexcomposites.com/australia/?q=node/52) - I use them in Melbourne and they're pretty good.

Also, do you know any laces in sydney to get maple? or alternately fibreglass and bamboo?

You need it otherwise the valve will suck onto the deck and you won't be able to suck all the air out... The kit is a better deal than buying everything separately. It has everything you need to get started (except the foam).

Do you actually NEED to use the breathing net? or is it just an option?

No problem Dan. I was the same, but once I got the TAP bag, it really created more opportunities for more advanced builds. All of the work is in the prep and mould shaping, once you've got that sorted, it's quite straight forward.

Awesome! sounds good. I haven't been able to do very technical builds so far, so this and a bit more experience will really help. Thanks heaps

Does anyone know where to get vac bags? I've really searched around and can't find any. I live in sydney, so it would be nice if they were kinda close.
