SATAN COUP-CAKES

"my old (hig)school board"

When i was young, back in 90, i started thinking about making my own skateboard.....than after more than 20 years..im here on the project.I decided to design a board inspired to the NATAS KAUPAS panther of 89, i had it..i think it was one of the best board i ever had.Unfotunatley it got lost because n those years i used to repaint all the deck I rided and to make my artworks, so it was stoled douring and art exposition at my high school.

Lets start!!! ....at first i had to design concave and shape! than i had to think about a mold!!I studied the concave and tail design on Santacruz decks from 86 to 89 and than i decided to make mix of them creating hybrid. I worked on 3d model and than when was ready I had to prepare parts for cutting and assebling the PRE-MOLD,The pre mold was made of light wood and had to be the mold for the press mold that would be casted in concrete.

I casted the concrete using a lot of streght renforcements, iron bars, iron nets, big frame fiberglass nets.

than i had to cast the second part of the mold, in the same way. I painted the first part of mold just to allow the concrete to be separated easy.

and what to put inside mold???? at last i thought to press 5 ply of maple and 3 of fiberglass...experiments...i used hight flow epoxy just to be shure to wet allthe wood.

after 24 h i cutted the shape and sanded the countours..

....than paint job! and than be prepared for artwork!! I just hope no one steal it again
