When was the last time you could touch the graphics on your board without them flaking or chipping off? And why would you hand down an old beat up looking board to your kids and would they want it? If you have a great collection of boards or one with history, you should be proud to own it - not scared to show or touch it. Let V.E.S. help save your board's history and value for the future! I take my time with your board to achieve your custom look and if it gets sealed by V.E.S. it will leave you with a finish that will last. Of course, nothing is impenetrable so if it takes a beating it may get scratched up but going through the V.E.S. process will give your collection a fighting chance long into the future! The V.E.S. Seal process can make the board 90% + water resistant and it will also help with color fading going into the future.
I also allow in my process to work on your board over and over again if you choose to skate it.
This is not just a cover up process or a quick flip like others do. I am preserving what is there for the long term value and will work with you to achieve your custom board!
Old boards can take 4-6+ months to complete while newer boards can be done in an average of 1-3 months. I DON'T use Bondo- (it won't last and you can't skate it), Wood Putty- (it just cracks over time) or fiberglass- (too hard and kills the original flex of a wood board). I have never used these on wood boards so you get a high quality product through my process that will last and look good long into the future. If you want your boards shape refurbished by me then sent to someone else for graphics, just ask. Send me some pics of what you have and are looking to have done and I can give you some options of what I can do.
I can even clean and seal Bonite decks. And as anyone with these boards know the Bonite is like paper and you can loose your graphics much faster. I found a way to clean this kind of board without using any chemicals and once V.E.S. sealed it will last and can be skated- if you dare!!!
When you send a board to me or if you buy one of mine, I'll update you with detailed pictures along the way to track the progress. I can also add your boards refurbish process to my website if you want your friends or the world to see (optional). I will ask you questions along the way to get it right. Every board is a work in progress endeavor and I've gotten pretty good over the years at addressing pop up problems. I also have a big collection of vintage skateboard parts so I can mix and match the colors, trucks, wheels and plastics in real time in front of you to get that perfect look. I also include before photos as well for you to keep for comparison and authenticity.
For some, this is a hobby to collect or refurbish. Let me help you with the tools and ways to refurbish a board right. From what I see and hear a lot of people are doing this wrong. I can't save them all by myself but if there is a process to make our boards last into the future new/old more will be saved across the spectrum. This is what V.E.S. offers to collectors, hobbyist, museums and just your average skateboard enthusiast.
Black light decks look AMAZING with my process giving back some of its color's and depth for a great look that will last. Let us help you with that one of a kind skateboard display and change the game on how history looks!!!
Why hang a falling apart collection on your wall when I can transform it into art! If your board is snapped in half and can't be skated again, let me put it through the V.E.S. process to become a lasting wall hanger that will hold its value $$$ much longer into the future!!!
Each step of the V.E.S. process is done by me by hand, allowing for customization every step of the way and providing top quality workmanship. I only do so many boards a year so my work isn't rushed or cheapened. This is my 40+ hour a week job it's not just a hobby. If I'm not working on your board I am researching, inventing or trying to beat my former processes.
Also available - innovative custom shrink- wrap and storage for short or long term protection of your board and wheels or complete deck, JUST ASK!!
We are also working on a new way to display your boards that will change the game thats been played for way too long the same way!!!
New custom hanging board bags in the works!! For those with big collections with no room!!
No more stacking your boards and hoping for the best or spending all day looking for a board !!! coming soon....
$$$$$ As far as pricing goes, that all depends on what you're looking for or what you want to have to done. But if you call or send me pictures of what you have and what you're looking to have done, I will be able to zone in on price. There are just too many variables to lock down a set price for this kind of custom service.
We are a new company and our website will be constantly improved on as we grow, please check back for new products and services. And if you made it this far on my website thanks for looking.
AND AS A REMINDER- !!!!!!!SKATEBOARDING IS A DANGEROUS SPORT!!!!!!!!!
