Dinghy like deck?

#1

So I had an idea to build a small, easy to carry second board. Like most of you had…
After searching I bought a dinghy shortboard. Soon realized that it is just a tad bit too short for me and so I started searching. And searching. The absolutely perfect deck size-looks wise was a blank deck from skateshred.

To my setup it was a perfect deck, but just recently I noticed this…

The deck cracked severely in 3 places. And now I don’t have a deck to use, and that one was just perfect.

So my question to you all is this, what kinda of deck I should look for, being 32 in length, 8-8,5 in width and as close as possible same shape. A deck that would be inside EU. Skateshred shipping is twice as the deck, and don’t really keen on buying the same cheap deck.

Thank you, but that is fairly far, from the shape I’m looking for…
Edit, maybe I have stated it un clearly, but I’m looking something to as close as shape as the skateshred deck.

check out powell peraltas line up. They have a lot of sick short decks with that classic bowl/pool size/shape.

Sorry if I’m not following, why don’t you buy another deck from skateshred?

#10

Because the shipping is more than the deck to get overseas, + worry it week break again.

Reach out to skateshred. They have pretty great customer support! I’m pretty sure they’ll replace it for you as long as it’s within one year of the purchase date.

Most of the sickboards decks don’t have such an agresive tail unfortunately. I’m not sure on the same deck quality, even tho I really love it a lot. But the build will be quite seriuos, so I’m scouting for good options, checking out Peralta atm.

could probably get it on amazon

What about this little tinker? Too short?
Edit, probably @eBoosted’s Kut-thaka enclosure would fit it too.

The McGill Skull and Snake, the OG Bug 01 Lime and the Lance Mountain Future Primitive are really good.
