Long Monkeys
Aug 23rd, 2009 by Head Monkey
As we updated our site for the 09/10 season, we realized something. You see, Happy Monkey has always made long boards, but it turns out we haven’t been advertising it very well. So we’ve made that a bit more obvious throughout the site, and made the pricing clear.
The max length is 200cm, and decks over 180cm start at $725.
As an example, last season we made an absolutely beautiful 200cm board for a local guy. He wanted a long board, but not necessarily a super-wide board, which are two attributes that tend to go hand-in-hand at other companies. So we designed a 200cm deck with just a 25cm waist, and a long sidecut so the nose and tail weren’t uber wide either. The result was a deck that we almost didn’t want to give up! We’re actually gonna make a prototype of something based on this shape and test it out this season for ourselves. If we like it, we’ll consider making it a stock model next season.
