Yea it’ll compress a bit.
I don’t know if it’ll ship to the US though, give it a try.

Is it closed cell or open cell?
Does it return to its original shape after being smashed for a while?
It’s a closed cell
Anyone tried printing gaskets with TPU?
Is that th Etsy deck+gaskets?
Ah yes, The true hierarchy of needs
That looks a a normal mountain board with caster wheels attached. Hell I could make that.
Check the camber on the wheels.
You would need to either bend your truck axles or use FleXL trucks to get the same effect
Maybe the trucks are bent in the picture. I feel like you could get better performance out of those lean trucks
beautiful setup…
Or, this customer could avoid leaving this board next to the ocean to get hit by a wave. All electronics died, battery survived thanks to the enclosure design keeping all the water pooled in the electronic compartment.
Motors and wheels received all new bearings as well.
No
If a board can’t survive an ocean wave, it’s not good enough
I have with limited success… you can get a good fit, on a cambered deck, but they lack any substantial squish, and really require some additional sealant…
Okay… that’s actually overstepping a bound.
90%+ boards can’t ride on even compacted shoreline sand.
does this link work to show the secret?
apparently it does work
So, full ceramic bearings, titanium axle/hardware only, vapor deposition coating on all motors and exposed metals, positive pressure enclosure to eject high pressure water intake, plastic capped/sealed charging outlets
Don’t forget it also needs to float
this sounds like a really good idea, and do-able on a peli-case build
aviation folks do use titanium bearing races and they hold up. link removed, my bad, those are titanium nitride coated steel. the fatboy hangers use titanium axles. folks like @KfromtheBay already use titanium bolts and nuts because they purdy. i don’t know if applying PVD to motor parts makes sense when we can rebuild them with a ti shaft/bearings, and all other surfaces covered in epoxy/conformal
