Hey thanks,
I'll re-read everything you guys said ansd i will let you know my findings.
Caledonian as a person from New Caledonia also known as the closest place to heaven. Little tropical island located between Australia and New Zeland. Where i am from originaly. Was discovered by james cook. James cook was from caledonia/scottland and like a moron when he get there decided it looked like his home land so he named it New Caledonia. Now i would love to be able to speak with the dead guy cause last i checked, coconut trees, deserted white sanded beach, a 100 plus degree all year around, and a blue lagoon doesn't make me think about scottland.
Again thanks for everything,
Junior |

Watson is in National City (San Diego).
ABC is in Costa Mesa so they would be closer if you're in the O.C.

| Oh wow thanks for the history lesson, I should know that since I just finished reading a book on Captan Cook and all his trips. I'd love to visit some Pacific islands but I guess they wont be to good for skating. |

Thanks for evrything.
So i've decided to make a tun of 100 decks. I'll go with either watson or ABC since they are close to me. I'll follow your advices and i'll go pick them up myself to save on the shipping.
Anybody tried both company. I'd like to know a little something on the quality of the decks. Wich one is best? that kind of stuff.
AS for going to skate in the south pacific islands. If you don't know anybody you my find it hard to have a good time skating. But if you know the locals, they will take on a journey you won't forget. There's no skatepark there, at least like we are used to here out here. There, every crew has their secret spot. You'll go off roading out in the middlw of nowhere for about two hours or more and all of a sudden you'll find a pipe and everything to skate next a water fall. Or you take the boat, an on a lost island that's not even on maps, they built whatever is needed to have a great time. But you have to be a local fot that.
Thanks

Hey I havnt gone through Watson Laminates but I contacted them and got some microsoft excel documents. Its kinda a bitch because you havfta get like 100 of the same exact shape. I can send you the documents if you have excel. I know Element and Consolidated both have some of their decks made by Watson.
They seem pretty good other than the huge pain in the ass minimums. If you have the money and the customers go for it. If you dont have the customers your gonna have all your money locked up in those decks for a while.
I use skateboardprinting.com and they do a good job but it is true they seem to ignore you. The email is answered by the artist guy who doesnt seem to give a shit. Just call and talk to Jim, hes incharge there and will help you out, nice guy. They are also pretty busy because they make decks for Termite...you know the little grom company.
Low minimums which you can mix and match shapes. 8.0 7.75 ect. and mini decks all in the same order. warning stickers (free of charge), shrink wrap, colored plys optional.
Easy to deal with if you get a hold of them.
well theres my info happy hunting.
PS I HAD SLOB CHANGE MY NAME SO PEOPLE DONT FIND MY POSTS WHEN THEY SEARCH FOR MY COMPANY NAME ON GOOGLE. IM Useless Skate Co.

I was wondering who you are. hahahaha!!!
Thanks my man. Yes, I can move 100 decks. I already got so many pre-orders, without even having a graph yet that i'll have to keep 20 decks just for the US, in case some friends here wnat one. That's why i decided to go with 100 decks for the 1st run.
I'll check out ABC, watson, and the company that does termite. Termite is that grind king brand for kids, right?
I didn't dig deep yet, but so fare it looks like i'm going to go with watson. Not a 100% sure, but from what i've heard from people, they seem to have the best quality of decks.
Thanks
