Sean Goff has a luge board with WASP trucks. One is a 10" wide.

As you are having good contact with Marc, could you ask him who made Benji Boots and SuperBoots for them?

Maybe we can finally find out

It was Belair.

Lovely even with the laminate Center

I don't think he could find any of the kevlar-type fibreboard! Otherwise, knowing how detail-oriented Paul is he would have used it!

My personal rider, one owner from new!

I have a copy of your board by Paul Phillips!

Please, please don't pay 'personal rider' prices when it isn't!! I spoke at length to Marc Sinclair at the London Calling event, and he stated that the checkerboard bottom board is NOT a personal rider. The owner and I also had a chat about it and he also conceded that it wasn't. It's a good example...

They cleaned up a treat!

Here's a shot of Marc at Rolling Thunder riding a set of lime green SB's...

These were made by a company that made hang gliders!

Another possible entry... Mike Weed conicals... very similar lip shape.
Photo isn't high quality - sorry!

Very interesting! Did Belair also produce the wheels for Hobie?

I think you're right.. side by side they do look more rounded at the lip.

That orange 'Superboot' isn't a Superboot. Its a Superboot print on a Hobie Claw wheel. Possibly an experimental. The production Superboots were rebranded Belair Lipcones with the metal core. Saw the orange one at London Calling exhibition! I have one single NOS wheel... https://live.staticflickr.co...

Only Henderson's on that one.
Sablosky signed my board that was in the display window (and got grabbed by the gallery bouncer in the process!!)

T-shirt signed by both.

I think skating was probably the pinnacle of his life. We're all meeting for a beer next time I'm over, either later this year or early next. Unle...
