Is the Alva a 7 ply?
The Hustler is an 8 ply. |

I've got a new one on the way wich I can give you a nice deal on, graphic defect.
But if you want a really cheap one, I do have a used one, fair wear on the tail though.

I skated the hell out of it, the tail got worn to a point where it started chipping, I got a new deck because the last chip that came out took the shape of the tail with it.
So, the corner on one side of the tail is chipped off.
I was riding that deck for about 4 months, thats a long time for me, but, it's still skateable and solid.
It's at my shop, I'd have to bring it home tonight to get a pic, seems like you just want to get an idea of the dimensions and what it feels like huh?...without spending the money to get a new one?

O by the way, Alva is going to stop production on the Caddy, I've got the last 2 I'll ever get in stock on the way, they have graphic defects and were the only ones available to me.
But once I tried the 38" alva, I understood why it was no big deal to discontinue the caddy, the 38" is a masterpeice. |
