Platypus tail layer11/11/2023 ![]() The board that started it all.Back in 2012 when the Platypus was born it was a unique and never before seen board that kicked off the longboard dancing movement in Europe.We equipped it with a mellow concave and a nice bouncy camber that brings an amazing rhythm to your dancing steps.The narrow kicks worked perfectly Several different kinds of reinforcement material Our new layup ensures stiffer kicks and longer lasting pop, which makes it perfect for high popped tricks.Due to the new fibres used, you can stomp your flips without worrying about the durability of the board underneath your feet. With our newly developed chopped camber even pumping is possible, although you would never suggest it after looking at it.Ĭonstruction Method/Layupwe changed out the 3layer birch-ply for another 1 layer sheet of bamboo, making it our first full bamboo board, which we reinforce with different kinds of glassfibre and carbon fibre, so the kicks stay stiff while the subtle flex can do it's work in between the wheelbase.KicksWhen it comes to the kicks we recalculated the apex point and stuffed in even more reinforcement material to make the pop really fast and snappy. ![]() ShapeOur classic asymmetrical shape which got shortened a bit around the waist to fit the length of the Edina.Of course we kept all the good things like, no wheelbites, tailored waist, Platy-shaped nose, straight tail.ConcaveLots of it !the radial concave on the Edina is perfect for flicking your flips and keeping you stable while throwing down some Peter-Pans or Cross-Steps.It's noticeable throughout the whole board, starting right after the truck-wholes and mellowing out in the centre.chopped Camberwe redeveloped our already successful camber known from our Platypus to fit modern freestyle needs.the result is a very controllable board that supports you during landings and encourages your dancing with the extra shot of energy know from classic camber boards. Right in between our Platypus with 127cm and our Mini Platypus with 109cm the Edina meassures 118cm nose to tail. Our newest creation forged in our workshop by experienced shapers, the Edina is a mash up of our classic boards paired with plenty innovations, new layup and a well known shape the longboard world loves and keeps copying.
