The Lowdown.

endless hours of running out to get the next thing we need that we didn't know we needed to get the workshop working... and I'm talking about the screenprinting...

Hey man, look out for some seriously "rustic" screenprinting on these first rounds of Fickle product! We have never even done this before... and by "this" we mean, building our own entire workshop from laminate press to spray room to screen printing to bring you something that isn't found on the wall of Zumiez...

And this wood. It's got glue in it. We slather a massive amount of glue on both sides of all our laminate veneers, then press them for a RIDICULOUSLY LONG TIME and then cure them for at least 4 days before releasing them to the world... our riders swear that this wood is epic.

As for me, Old Lew, all I'm saying is that this is what I wanted to die doing: making skateboards with my hands. I have plenty of stuff going on beyond this, and I don't have a plan to become a million-unit, high-output factory. I just want to have the joy of making epic planks for you to destroy.

There are a lot of heads pulling together to get this thing out to you. Today I want you to know about Ian Brown, our staff electrician and all-around most hardest worker. Ian is one of the reasons that there'll be a Fickle Boards for you in the future. Thanks!
