Product Description:

“This freeride deck was fine tuned to the constraints and advantages of vac-bag pressing to get you the best out of the box, DIY freeride longboard experience possible. A pleasure to ride, this symmetrical shape gives you a nice wide platform, wheelbase options, comfortable kicktails, and wheel flares to eliminate wheel bite and make it easier to initiate turns. Additionally, if you want to flex your creative muscles, the deck is shaped to double as a generous blank that you can cut into any number of different decks for different styles of riding.”

Chris McCann is a huge contributor to the DIY community with his informative Youtube tutorials, open-source project files, and custom tools, making board building more accessible to everyone! Chris works hard to help expand the DIY board building space by teaching builders how to create their own wheels, bushings, and even more.

*We recommend pressing this board in two stages and using a backer board to achieve the best possible shape.

To make your mold last longer, completely cover it with strips of wide (plastic) packing tape.

The foam mold and Thin Air Press Bag, pump, and breather netting are designed to be used for many, many builds.

Keep all your reusable kit parts in good working order by following the maintenance tips included with the kit.

Using uncut sheets of veneer, plywood backer boards and external clamps can puncture a Thin Air Press bag. Treat your TAP bag with care, inspect regularly for holes.

Q: What else do I need to make a board with this kit?
A: Glue and a roller, possibly an off-cut sheet of plywood to act as a stiffener under the mold, and a jigsaw (or bandsaw) to trim out the pressed board
