Made this 7-ply maple in a drop-down and added drop-through option. Running it top-mounted with bees knees and Paris 180 50s. Nice and flexie and mops up the road vibration!
This was made in my second press and is the 1st board out of it. It has more concave than my first press. I have several board variations (plies, mounts) from my first press. Learning something new every time!
Hey y'all
I'm working at a tech college as a CAD (Computer Aided Design) drafter, I was hired to do designs and all the rest of the processes to make boards and help people who come in to do the same (dream job right?). We will be hosting a class (maybe more than one) where people can come in, choose one of 4 board styles and work with me to design and press a custom (within reason and one of the 4 designs) board; they'll be able to choose their wood veneers within reason too, we will have a decision tree for them to look and decide. We have decided for sure to do a regular skate deck and a longboard deck, but haven't decided on the other 2 options.
If anyone is curious to know more feel free to ask, the main software I'm using for design is Sk8cad and they have a shape library of a bunch of the most used skate designs if you want to see what I'm working with, though of course I can do modifications do the designs.

What do y'all think we should do? I personally was thinking cruiser and surf skate as a couple of the guys here want a surf skate themselves.
Im using a 65mm 83A longboard wheels that i rotate from my longboard to my cruiser (which is my skateboard old deck).
Im thinking about buying a 63mm 80A local wheels that has rounded shape to still do some old school and freestyle tricks and being able to Cruise in the very rough terrain I have in my city (which is the worst ever lol). This wheel is almost transparent: looks like silicone almost lol.
I found also a 65mm longboard wheel which has 78A hardness: this wheel is from a local brand too but its Aimed for a longboard than a cruiser: the wheels are wider and doesnt have the shape I look. But instead it has the 78A hardness that all People recommend me to skate.
Is 78A and 80A different? Is 83A to 80A a noticeable gap? What about 83A to 78A?
Also I got another weird question, what about shaping the wheel? Can I reshape a skate wheel with a sandpaper? I know this sounds like im trolling but I Wonder if its possible lol.
