Community Designed / Custom longboards
Comet did it with the FSM, now its ASRAs turn to build a cummunity designed board.
The idea of this project is to design a communal mold, something that most people are happy with, whether it be a rockered freeride or topmount speedboard, whatever, then to build custom longboards to your specs from that mold. This means custom shape, flex (if any), wb, width, mounting option, graphics, the whole package.
So go crazy, talk about what works, what you'd like, and hopefully everyone can decide on a final design for the mold which will be produced.
Include;
-concave shape (flatcave, wavecave, W-cave, toecutter etc.)
-amount of concave (?mm)
-rocker/camber/flat, footpockets, wedging
-anything else you can think of, just go crazy, I'll tell you if its not possible
The final product will be for sale, in around 4-5 weeks time (after the design proccess etc) and you will be able to order a completely customized board from this mold. The more buyers, the cheaper the boards, though at the moment the price will be around $100 - $120 for a woody.
There will also be an option to buy an uncut blank form the mold, if that tickles you fancy
Just to give you some ideas, heres some picks from my latest mold
Help design your dream board....

I think with a kicking graphic, this board will look sweet, only thing is, if you don't already have it (can only tell a little from one pic) having the back not kick out as much?
would be awesome to see a drop through as well.

Brushbox top/bottom with a Durian core (not the wheel), or for the 120-240 price above, marine ply (REAL marine ply, not the bunnings grade stuff). Can include glass if needed. Wasn't planning to sell them commercially, just here and where I work.
