we were hoping to have SOUGWEN decks available for this show. but it won’t be the case. but there will be full res prints on display. and it will be the only place to pre-order the deck. the run is hyper limited in comparison to most skateboards. so if you miss out. you miss out.
the deck will be 31.5 x 7.75 & 7.6″.

August 29th, 7pm to 11pm
you have to RSVP to find your way.

i will also have a couple.. and i mean a very few IAN LYNAM boards on me. they come in 7.75, and 8″ wide version. if you want one. leave a post. i will make sure to have one for you. IAN decks on this night only.. will be 40$ flat. sougwen reserves are 50$.

ss851680 ss851679 [gallery link="file" columns="2"]i love to make things. it isn’t an option. or something to look into. i like the whole process. from concept to refining, being anal, then manufacturing. paying for the manufactureing, and getting the final product. i love all these things. i AM the dreamer of the dreams. but sometimes i do things that are not mass produced or re-broadcast. in this cast, i made a OPEN logo board, one of a kind. never to see the day of bulk daylight. a one off for JL at project bushwick. i hate to sound all douche like. but i think 100% bamboo decks is the future. bamboosk8 is doing an awesome job of pushing things forward, and you will continue to see limited edition 100% bamboo decks from OPEN.

you see that banner up there? oh yeah, i’m proud to announce, that the first OPEN skateboard is available for pre-order. OPEN skateboards is a new company, focused on quality skateboard decks, great design, and hopefully unique style. our first board (the one avail for pre-order) is a hyper limited edition deck. it’s made from 100% bamboo, has a one color silk screened design, and is hand numbered. i have been skating on a 100% bamboo deck for a couple month now, and i think they are great. super pop, and it just keeps on going. oh, and it looks great. bamboo is a 100% green tech, as about a foot or more grows in a week. not the hundreds of years that canadian maple takes.
though look for our upcoming decks to also be available on canadian hardwood maple. a good deck is a good deck.
