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.

Perfect to keep you locked in and to give you more control while doing big steezy slides.

G'day i am thinking of getting into long boarding and would like a deck made in Australia. I have found out even better your from Shellharbour, I am only in Fairy Meadow.  I do like the look of the top mount also the free ride, I am looking at a all round board, that is manly for downhill, but i would like to be able to use it to carve and on the cycleway. The trucks i have are caliber 50, Orangatang in heat wheels 75mm 80a, bones red bearings. the deck I was looking at is the comet voodoo d2. I do not know if can help me but all I can do is ask.

Kind regards,

Neal

I can't atm Neal, I don't have any boards in stock. About to start building again in the next couple weeks but the boards won't be available for a couple months. I don't think you would want to wait that long. Maybe try some of the other Aussie Builders - Glyde or Daddow. Sorry I can't help you out mate

Where do you buy your FibreGlass From?

Handwoven scandinavian fibreglass bro. Steve has pirvacy agreements with his suppliers.

Thanks Finn, its actually handwoven by breathtakingly beautiful naked scandinavian ladies behind a secret waterfall of the purest spring water deep in the alps...

G'day Steve,

There is no real rush, I was hoping you could, help me with the what are the difference with your top mount decks I have seen 1 for $220 and the other for $180. they look very much alike to me but the dearer one is wider at the front and you can not change the wheel base is that the only difference or is there more??

Cheers,

Neal

Hi Neal I have a classic Fp in good nic I live in Conistone if you want a look great board for a big guy

Neal the first one was built when I just started out and was happy to break even . The one for $220 includes a layer of carbon fibre. Its a moot point though because i'm not building them like that anymore. The 2012 boards are made using entirely new materials. They will be much much lighter, stiff and durable

g'day Steve,

Can I ask if there going to be about the same costing? Also will they be the same shape?

Cheers,

Neal

Similar shape, some slight upgrades to the shapes and WB . These boards are going to be almost foamcore weight. The materials used are more costly than your average run of the mill materials. So yes they will be more costly than your average board, but then again they will be arguably better than your average board. Performance wise they will be miles ahead. stay tuned....

Hey mate, how much would a foam core, carbon fibre topmount set me back?

prices start from $450 Corey
