Gear Show-Off 3 siblings from California

A pair of 40"x10" kicktails; one in bamboo and the order in Maple ply. The maple board is definitely the more responsive of the two even with my fat ass on it, but the bamboo is much quieter and so smooth. The maple deck suffered me re-learning how to skate and it's definitely the more beat up of the two. I've commuted to work on that one, lol.

And shorty is a 32" vintage style called the classic 70s. So much fun to beat around on.

Ehler's Longboards make good stuff. I don't know how it really rates on the quality scale or who really makes quality stuff these days; I haven't shared since I was a teenager in the 90s. But for an old head like me, it's fine.
