V.E.S. Custom Santa Cruz Eye Build

Vintage shoe shredding grip tape !!

Great board but the color choice could be better!!

.

Grip tape removed cleaned up and ready for the V.E.S. process.

.

Depending on the board, I like to tastefully fill in the blanks on the graphics just enough and leave the rest raw to be covered by the V.E.S. process. 

You can see the old drilled holes through the grip tape that have been filled with a hardened white wax to keep dirt, air, and water out that can harm the board over time.

Back in the day when I saw this board I was like WOW !!!!

And when I stand on this board now, it takes me back to the late 80's to a time I tore up and down the streets of Springfield, Holyoke, Chicopee, Ludlow, Indian Orchard and a few weekends down town Boston to ride the Red - Brick!!!!
