If you have been following us on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter, you will have seen two boards from our new lineup appearing in the last week – the Freeryder and the Pinnacle.

The Freeryder is a pretty wild symmetrical freeride shape from using our rocker concave, CNC machine and a huge wheelbase adjustability to produce a powerslide/freeride monster!

This thing is definitely one of the crazier shapes we’ve ever done in our 10+ years of shaping, but it really works… we’ve been loving the our prototypes so far.

The Pinnacle is a slightly more “conventional” wide-tailed freeride/DH deck, again with Rocker, CNC wheel wells and an optional tail via an adjustable wheelbase.

Long Wheelbase with no tail for speed…

Short Wheelbase with a tail for ollies!

Think of it as halfway between a Machine and an Antuna… perfect for freeride and sliding, but also capable of some mountains if you’re lucky enough to find yourself in some!

Coming in time for Christmas… watch this space!

The next generation of our decks is in production at the woodshop right now, and several of them feature CNC routed wheel wells.

Low ride height and good standing platforms are the holy grail of any longboard deck manufacturer – these new capabilities allow us to shape very long, very deep wheel wells, giving us better wheel clearance and more wheelbase adjustability too.

Watch the boards page for some blacked-out magic… coming soon!

Pete Fowler’s new Symbian graphic is nearly ready… here’s a sneaky peak…

We have another new board in the 2012 lineup to show off… the Duder is our stab at a mid-length cruiser.

Simple, clean, sexy. It’s slightly rockered for super nice board feel, which also has the effect of lifting the tail a little.

It’s not too long – 36.35″ – so you can carry it on the tube or sling it under your desk – but it’s still long enough to be a true “longboard” and way more skateable than these tiny plastic things that are all the rage right now…

If you’re after a longboard for nipping to the pub or down the shops on, here’s one that’s actually had some thought put into it.

While this maybe isn’t what you want for blasting your local hill or chucking giant standies, we think you will be hard pushed to find a cruiser that skates better than this. Don and Giovanni Approved!

Happy New Year! 2012 is going to be mental if you’re into this longboarding thing… there’s already loads of trips and events appearing on the horizon. We’re kicking things off with another new board – the Accelerator!

Looking for a rockered, mini freeride deck? Look no further… We took the Elevator and made it a little smaller, producing a super fun freeride and cruise setup. It’s 9ply maple – you could probably even race it if you really wanted.

Rockered, like many of our other decks this year, we love the board feel and we think you will, too…

Concave? Yep… we can do that…

Coming to a skate shop near you in March 2012… available for pre order shortly. More coming soon!

Two new boards in one day! The first run of the much-anticipated Legend and Wizard are in the presses now, here’s a sneaky peak…

Legend…

Wizard!

More coming soon… watch this space.

The final protoypes for our Manu Antuna Tribute Deck turned up last week…

This is our first rockered speedboard. It’s a bit shorter than the Vandella, with a further refined shape after many late-night motorway conversations in the van between Darren, Chris, Jesse and Rich.

If you’ve no idea who Manu Antuna is and why we’re doing a tribute model for him, watch this space for an interview…
