Custom Longboard - Guru Tribute

Gunnar made a visit to the shop 1 week ago with a shortboard, clearly looking for something more. He had speed, carve, cruise and slide in mind. After browsing the selection of painted decks and blanks we decided on a blank Ambitious Boards drop deck that is locally built in Toronto. He already had an idea for a custom deck in mind - something to remember the life of hip hop artists Guru who recently passed away. The deck art was done by Amelia - a fromer member of Funktion Gallery - and includeds the Gangstarr logo, Gurus birth and death dates as well as the quotes: "Above the clouds, above the crowds". The deck was set up with a new brand of trucks called Sabre available at 74 Oxford and Orangatang 4President wheels. A great set up for a first longboard that will allow Downhill and Freeriding.

Enjoy the new set-up Gunnar.
