wet signature bi-level skate

Wet Signature has published the first pics of their new stick. It´s a bi-level wooden skate with a quite unique shape. it looks a little like a snowskate..

Here are some spec-descriptions and pictures taken from the www.wetsignature.blogspot.com:

"This wood core is the only one of its kind in the market and for now im not gona say to much about it so it stays that way. It has a 3 stage rocker that is 1.5 inchs. It can be from 39-41 inchs in length, and it weights in at about 12 1/2 pounds so this one wont fly away on you. Both top and bottom core's are completelyin closed in a pbt plastic skin and closed off with black abs side wall. It is designed to ride like a bi level with more dramatic contour top but feel more like a 3d solid board.I have closed cell foam pads between the board to support the top deck and prevent from flexing very much. The pads also add some great cushioning when jumping big gaps or going big on the boat."

According to Oguso the boards can be preordered now and will finally be available in two weeks. First buyers will get an extra t-shirt with board so make sure you hurry up.

Signature wakeskate comanynew 3d wakeskate by Clint Tompkins

Here are one of the first pics from the Signature wakeskates made by Clint Tompkins. Thanks to Brooke Geery from Alliance Wakeskate for publishing this picture. Here a short quote from the WetSignature blog:

Im not going into to much detail on construction just yet ... has some deep roots in snowboarding since we all know snow is just frozen water ... It is made to be ridin hard and have a life spand that will rival any fully composit board. It is 99% wood core but is fully enclosed in a composite skin and sidewalls to ensure no water logging. It looks like a bi level but with a closed cell foam core between the top and bottom deck to prevent the top deck from flexing so it rides and feels more like a solid 3d deck.The board size can be between 39 to 41 inches in length and a width of 13 1/2 inch's.
