Skateboard manufacturers

[My Pal the Crook]

Anyone have any recommendations on board manufacturers??

How is Penn Wood Mfg?

PS Stix rules, but if you're trying to start up your own little thing you won't be able to get in the door. This probably ain't even the forum to be asking, although poobrowne could prob school you on what you need to know. also try slapmagazine.com forums. never heard of Penn Wood...

...or do what every other major company is doing: get 'em made in China!

[My Pal the Crook]

I know this isn't the right forum, but i'm here and i know a few of you know your shit. thanks

[rhythmandsound]

it's all good!, and yeah i should've said it in a more constructive way i.e 'might want to try other forums'.....didn't mean to sound like an ass .

Chapman? they do Zoo York and Adrenaline...and Supreme's decks right?

[no one likes NY]

Penns Wood MFG is a good manufacturer for decks. A friend of mine used them on a small order of 100 decks and the turn around time was quick and their reliable people. They also have a good in house art department to fix any problems or to answer any questions. They have a website, google them and you'll find it.

And by the way, are we talking MISHKA skate decks?

[UnhappySupremeCustomer]

Chapman is out of Maine, they do zoo york and supreme decks

Looky here, it's just the way the cookie tear. Prepare to get hurt and mangled like Kurt Angle, rookie year.

Had a bunch of Todd Jordan show decks done by chapman...came out hot...Wood seemed nice too

yea, i get my decks made through Chapman in NJ. Great guy(Glen Chapman), excellent service, high quality. And yes, they do all the decks for Zoo York, some aliean workshop, and a lot of limited artist runs for smaller companies. You can get 50-100 boards at a minimum. as always, price varies on colors, full dip, and what shape/size you wanna go with.

Premium does some nice boards. Made in Montreal with 100% Canadian Hard Rock Maple. I think the name of their manufacturing division is actually Woodchuck. I'm mainly going off a friend who sourced boards from there, but he got them from China anyways.. so... yeah... hit up www.premiumskateboards.com and get in contact with someone there if you'd like some of that 'made in Canada' quality.

Penn does Traffic I think...wood seems aight.

Chappy is good, yep yep.

Being from canadia, you'd think I would big up Premium/Woodchuck...they do it right, and you have to love exchange rates.

[email protected] is the key to that one.

Generator, I like those guys. Good wood, shit the last 4 decks I have ridden have been pressed at Generator, plenty of heads use them.

Get in touch with Robbie Gangemi at Vehicle.

I'm pretty sure he makes his own boards in house.

Not sure how down he would be for making boards for someone else, but it's worth a try.

i thought i read in an interview w/Gangemi or Oyola that Gangemi/Vehicle does or was doing Traffic wood???

[poobrowne]

I think Oyola mentioned something about that too actually.

I just checked out the penn site, which is kinda poor, and they did the latest run of traffic decks.

[My Pal the Crook]

poo: any opinions on the quality of their wood? I know their site doesn't really work, lets overlook that!

[poobrowne]

If Ricky is using them, I'm sure they're alright.

Like I said, I'm backing generator right now...as in, if I had to get a run of boards did, that's who I would use.

[stickykrylon]

zoo york wood is A + ... who does Zero decks? also A +

dig.

[eastcoastrider27]

Zero is probably using some BS Chinese maple now... At least for the team boards.

Vehicle wood is top notch.

I've never been a fan of Zoo boards, but I think that's due more to the shape than the actual quality of construction.

Zero, made in mexico, not china.

[eastcoastrider27]

^Yeah, but does Mexico have maple trees?

I'd be surprised if they were making boards with Canadian maple in Mexico.

mines gotta be darkstar

premium maple is not bad though, company from quebec

-don't hate, appreciate-

[JUPAFETT]

I USED CHAPMAN FOR THIS STUSSY SERIES A WAYS BACK. ASK FOR GREGG. HE'S THE BEST. TALKS FOR DAYS. QUALITY WOOD, GREAT PRICES, QUICK TURNAROUND. THEY HAVE TONS OF RETRO AND CURRENT SHAPES AND CAN DO CUSTOMS AS WELL.
