Description

If you want to build a perfect board, you have to start with a perfect frame! These kits are CNC cut to absolute precision, making your board building experience much more efficient and much less stressful. This kit makes a light, strong, perfectly shaped frame with complete step by step instructions. Choose from one of the following Driftwood kits to get the board that best suits your style.

The 7’0″ Driftwood. This is the real hot rod of the Driftwood series. It has the speed and agility you expect from a performance hybrid when it is built to plan but it can also be shortened to 6’6″ for an even more radical profile. Choose the fin setup that’s best for your style and harden the rails for snappy turns and edges that hold tight.

The 8’0″ Driftwood. This is an 8 foot performance hybrid board. It has enough volume to easily float riders in the 180 pound neighbourhood. The Driftwood is a longboard that thinks it’s a shortboard. The nose and tail have been narrowed giving sleek lines and awesome speed and maneuverability. You’ll be cranking turns you never thought possible on a longboard.

The spar sections are cut at non-critical spots into lengths that will fit the shipping box. All cuts are coded so that matching the pieces is foolproof. The manual shows clear assembly instructions. The electronic assembly manual is emailed as soon as the order is processed so you can start planning while the kit is on its way.
