They are a little more expensive than Sector 9's, but the quality is much, much better. I really dig his legends series of decks inspired by classic surfboard shapers (Mine's a Gerry Lopez). Check it out @www.barfoot.com |

However, at the time I bought mine I couldn't afford one so I got a Krown. Not as pretty, but it still comes with abec-7s and the trucks are nice. Just need to ditch the wheels.
This was $70 minus the paintjob: 
and yes I do look for any opportunity to post my longboard because its awesome.
