Thumbs up Zazzle now offers custom SKATEBOARDS

Zazzle is just getting crazy now with the customization stuff

Just got their newsletter that said they are now offering custom, one off, SKATEBOARDS.

More info here: Custom Skateboards

They offer 8 different style/size decks including "comp", "mini", and "old school" to customize.

Looks like they start at just $59.95 for just the deck (sounds like a decent price for a custom deck? I'm not a skateboarder...so I don't know for sure). They also offer the complete set with Independent Trucks, Ricta Naturals wheels, Bullet bearings, grip tape, and mounting hardware.




I'm not a skateboarder, but I may have to get one of these just for the novelty factor.

edit: I don't see any info on the site about the graphic templates/sizes for skateboards, so hopefully that info will be posted on their site later.

I'm pretty sure yep. I know another printer that does skateboards, so yes I do think its with dtg. If I am not mistaken, they use the tjet blazers which have a long print area.

I think that would be a great promo item, giveaway item, etc. even if you are not selling them.

Seems like it would be tricky to do with the contours of the board. I know the old school boards might be flat, but the other two boards usually have a slight concave shape in them so that your foot gets a little better grip on the board for tricks. like this: \___/ ,(not talking about the "tail" and the "nose", talking about from side to side) just not that extreme

I was thinking that as well. For a full board with all the wheels/accessories, etc it only runs about $170, which would be a very cool giveaway or promotional item for the right market.

You could probably get wheels and accessories cheaper from a local shop, too.

Rodney, how do you get this amazing cutout look on your screen shot posts? Do you Photoshop those?

Has anyone here tried printing on a skateboard and how did you do it? We just found out hubby's grandson wants a new skateboard for his birthday. It would be wicked cool to do one up for him.

If I am not mistaked I think Mistlewoods does skateboard printing with her flexijet. You might try sending her a pm Robin, in case she doesnt see this thead. Maybe she can help with telling you how she does it.

Ok I just checked where I thought she did skateboards, and what she prints is actually the grip tape that you apply to skateboards.
