Yesterday we went to two surf/skate shops and Ant picked out every component for his new board. He got the trucks and deck at one store; the wheels, bearings, grip tape and hardware at the other. The employee offered to put it together, but Ant ended up taking over. The finished board looks really good, and he says it rides really smooth. It's neat to see him so excited, and he's really earned this. The grip tape doesn't normally have artwork on it, so that's cool, and he ended up matching the hardware up to the colors on the grip tape. I'm not sure how that worked out so well, but it looks awesome. The underside looks awesome too with the wood pattern and red. It's well put together and uniquely Ant. We went to a skate park this morning to let him really try it out, and he went exploring around Dad's.
