Shawn,

Are you who Steve Church and Chris Favero have contracted with previously to produce various boards under different both well established and new-to-the-scene brand names?

width

Post by Shawn King » Mon Oct 29, 2007 9:15 am

Hello wesley
The width is 9 inches on the cutaway tail and 10 on the full tail
we can also make custom sizes but charge a little extra
Thanks and enjoy

Wow!
They are beautiful, exactly like my old Turners!
How much are they? I'm interested!

Utopia did all the glas work for Steve Church when he assumed Turner Summerski. The cut away is the same template as the Turner Summerski Full Nose.

The full board (the green one) is a design Shawn and Chris Favero developed as a foam core offering from ChiXill.

Chris brought the board to some races last year (maybe this year also) and it's really nice.

I have one of Shawn's boards as I bought the 44" Downhill Gun from Steve Church. I can attest to the fact that Shawn's work is flawless, superb, fantastic and about as close to perfect you'll ever see in a glas/foam/epoxy lay up.

I know the trend right now is for concave flatter boards, but there is definetely a place for fast skaters who want to ride high cambered roll topped boards. That black board in the middle would be PERFECT for John Gilmour or Paul Dunn.

I wouldn't mind having one myself. My Summerski Full Nose is retired but I would love to experience the response with shape and camber mounted with Rads and a Split/Air Flow style offset real.

Totally cool.

decks

Post by Shawn King » Mon Oct 29, 2007 7:14 pm

these are both our shapes
yep one is close to the old turner but we took the nose out and added length to the body
the fat boy is our shape built for guys who like more foot placement to push harder
chris's blk is his and his only we will not make it foranyone else....
as for flat boards no problem
tell us if you want camber or not tell us where you want it front foot,middle,back no problem
as for concaves of course we can do that
and as you might have seen before we can fix foot pads in too
plus more of the range shortly
tell us your perfect board maybe we will make it and add it to our range,,,
as for prices well

stock board 150 euros
carbon 175 euros

all ex works + shipping

custom e mail for price

we will try and sort pricing out to make them accesible for all
...................PEACE.................
