Barret has made a "Super G" for me and here is a picture of some other boards in progress.
In my experience of ordering boards of all different mediums including custom flex wings, I can honestly say that Barret "Chicken" Deck does a nice job when it comes to ordering a personalized board. His Pocket Pistols company will craft a board especially for you with great attention to detail. Flex profile, asthetics and well, Barret is a knowledgable racer (2002 World Champion) to boot!
His boards are reasonably priced and contain a great deal of thought, modern build techniques and a blend of "old and new." The graphics are personalized and I urge you to consider his company for any sort of board that you desire.
TS to Super GS.
I'll post more images as I receive them. "Shhh" don't let him know...

...I would rather Barret answer your question but I will tell you this. I just got back from Avila/Morro Bay contest and there were many Pocket Pistols being raced. Almost all were the 36" Super G and each one was custom. So many designs and each one unique!
Answer #1 I think they are $175 USD
Answer #2 I like a stiffer flex and it seems lively but a little less so than a shorter ROE or Turner. This is a good thing.
I like mine, ask any owner...

Leo,
As Adam stated the Superlight series boards are selling for $175.00 grip and shipping included to anywhere in the USA. The flex can be designed to your preference as well as the wheel base. The boards are all hand made and there's a bunch of background graphics to choose from. The 36" super g is the board I road all weekend at the Worlds and took a 3rd place GS, 1st place Slalom, and 1st place overall. Duane Peters who hasn't ridden since Tahoe was able to knock Gilmor out in the first round of the GS riding a GS/Hybrid deck so the boards are working great and contest proven.
Thanks Chicken

I found myself at the JPL Hill with only a 29" deck. Wanting to travel light I foolishly had left my Unlimited home. I needed something bigger on the spot and Chicken had a 36" that was the right flex and size for the hill. Here is my review of the 36" Pocket Pistol... Chicken has made a very stable, fast board that gives confidance and traction at speed. Pumps were deep and powerful.Very nimble despite the size. Great Job Chicken. TK

Ricky,
It's kind of funny that on February 6 you asked about whether or not PP was making boards. That's the day I mailed my check.
My Stealth got here yesterday. Yowza, yowza, yowza.

Chicken, Just to let you know I am the English guy with the Extra - stiff, Blue Snakeskin Smokestack.
I could not be happier, as a couple of weeks back I won my first ever Slalom comp!
And this after 27 years of skating!
My first meeting with a PPS was when Mr Stride received them from yourself back in the summer.
The first time I rode one was on one of our Friday night, beach front sessions at Hove.
It just so happenned to be Smokestacks board.
He was riding through a 4' to 4and a half foot straight course.
Well I had'nt skated a 4' course for a very long time.
I was picking it back up again but when I tried on Smokestacks setup
I was in heaven and really started to rock and roll.
Now I've got my own one slalom just got a whole lot better.
P.S. Indy offsets, 8mm axles and Cambrias st it all off.
