The Last Long Board You Will Ever Buy! (Its Bad Ass!)

"CINDRICH BOARDS" ARE NOW IN-STOCK AT GULF COAST SKATE SHOP.
Yes your eye's are not deceiving you these are metal longboards!
Cindrich skateboards are made out of light weight "T6064 billet aluminum" the same type of aluminum found in airplanes and race cars. they are very strong and cool looking and depending on the model they can have some flex like their "pin-tail" or be really stiff like the "3 peice" DH race model. Right now in-stock we have the "3pc" polished to a chrome like finish and the screamer which has so many angles and detail it "blings" in the sun like a diamond. We will have more models coming in for the holidays but stock is very limited on these boards.We are the only shop in Florida stocking Cindrich boards, as well as other hard to find long board's.   

(above left "SCREAMER" above right "3pc")
                                             
                                     
"machined out of a solid piece of aluminum"
 The price of "Cindrich" boards may be a little on the high side but it is very true "You get what you pay for!".
The prices range from $225 to $350 depending on the model and the options.
When you figure that the Carbon or 12ply DH deck you really want cost 140 to 200 bucks and in a few months to year it might not even be in one piece that extra 100 to150 bucks could have got you a board that will last a life time. Come on in and get yours today!

Abec-11 Centrax Wheels (Control Is King!)

What did someone say Abec-11 has a new race wheel? 
Well from what i hear Abec-11 has THE race wheel.
As cool as these wheels look they work a whole lot better.
Although the version released to the public does not have the 
holes in them like the wheels Team Green has been testing 
and winning races on the feed-back from the GCSS Team has been
really positive and our riders are very impressed with the formula.
 If you thought your "Big Zigs" were great race wheels wait until you get your hands on a set of these!
They give you a very smooth ride yet they are very fast with superior grip in turns.
Its almost an unfair advantage if your racing!
  While these wheels are hot the price is too!
While you see them retail for $70.00 plus even for on-line pricing
At GCSS we are here for the skaters and offer them to our local 
customers for only $65.00 and we install them for free including
pressing your bearings in and out of your wheels.
If  for some reason we don't have them in stock we can get them 
in less then 4 days at no extra cost to you! 
feel free to give us a call anytime!

Already in the mill is our second team model board being made for Nick Wallace. Our art department is revising and perfecting the design for our custom process for applying the art to Gulf Coast's 7-ply hard-rock maple decks.
Nick's board will be available in both 7.75 and 8.0 sizes if some one is interested in riding Nick's "one off" custom designed art work. Below is pictures of the Team members drawing and the first rough artist's rendering.
Just like all of our shop decks this board will get lots of love put in to its custom painted design. no cheep screen print or heat transfers each one of our decks are hand painted one at a time just like the good ole days! We only use the highest quality automotive paints and clear-coats and C.A.D. cut stencils combined with "free hand" art work for a design's that have that extra love you just cant get from "cookie cutter" transfers and screens. stay tuned and follow our blog to see the finished product with color in a few days!
Thanks for the support, GCSS
