well turns out my idea of starting a little buinesse worked out great
thanks to every one who helped, i got great info on how to make my boards preformance better, i got to demo afew and had an awsome time riding them becuase they have a very easy ride with clean easy pop and nice stable control of riding, i just finished a couple boards, as my very first prototypes, and they both have a nice even coat of white paint, im still gonna add several more layers of piant, then grip it and rip it, but for now im waiting for the first coats to dry, i wanna give a Huge thank you to every one who helped out and im open to any sarcasum and helpfull advice to make my boards even better. Production will begin these next few weeks (maby days) and to any one who i told i would be adding 5 dollars for paint, i do not , becuase my school (thats covering costs of wood and ect..) had paint for the marines class, soo the cost is now 30 $ a board with grip, fins and paint. Thanks again

The two pics below are pics taken right after i had appyled the first coat, i still need to grip the boards.

cassette315, I like the hard corners, nice variety. Those decks look like missles, what an arsenal.

Those are tight...if i order one i want it all white.

White is a good color, it stands out against the water clearer than anything. Tight white.

cassette315, man this is sick. one suggestion. keep the blank white profile. ppl will like the ability to customize their own skate with stickers and paint. however if u want to make a business out of it(which u could) i would put a very small logo on the base on the tail. if ur gonna spell it with "sin" amke sure u empisise it. best of luck.

P.S- i demo'ed the "Arsinal mini" 2 days ago, and it turned out better then i had thought, the riding was a little hard becuase less board mass ment less water pressure keeping me up, but onc ei was riding at a fasted speed, this board was basicaly a skate board, on water. ollies and pop shuvs felt like a skate board with a little bit of skim boarding and cutting was pritty fun and easy to, i dont recomend buying this board if u wanna actually wanna wakeskate, but if u wanna have a board to mess around on at the end of the day of a session, then yeah it's worth it, but it does require a higher level of riding becuase its a little more harder to keep full balance and land with out falling off, but once u got it, u'll shredd easy
