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.

Width - 10”

 

Wheelbase - 29.5”

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?

TKS

Ok here is one of the new topmount shapes and pics of the rear w cave. Im calling it the thunderbird. This is only a roughcut, it is yet to be properly sanded, have wheel wells done, drilled etc. It has a WB of 29" and a nice subtle w, about 5mm.

I can use this mold to build the regular topmount with w also.




steve, just wondering if u can make this board with carbon fibre and foam core. :) CHEEERS MAN.
Yes Danny I can, but probably not till early next year. I am in the process of upgrading my vac bag system at the moment so foam cores are on hold till then. Sorry for the inconvenience. I can put you on the foamcore list though if you don't mind waiting.

yep thats cool let me know when every you get em! :) and also can i custimize my own concave?
To a certain extent. pm me to discuss
hey mate have you made any dancing decks? i was looking for something like the lbl komodo, it's about 48". i've read this post and those topmounts look THAT amazing!!!

i'd rather get something australian made.
Haven't yet built a dancer Murph. Looking at the Komodo, im sure I could build something similiar but it would likely cost more than double an LBL. With the added length I would be using materials enough for two boards. Your probably better off just buying the Komodo even with the shipping with the dollar the way it is now.
that's alright, i figured it was a bit out of the scope of a normal board.

also your boards look sick!

Thanks Murph, sorry I couldn't help you out mate
Im not building drop decks for the moment Cal, I can't produce a drop deck at a competative price using my current materials and current set up. Looking to upgrade early next year, so look out for a drop deck then
im interested in a "thunderbird", how much for a drop through one??
The thunderbird is only a topmount Matti. It would get massive wheelbite if you droppped it through
