| Hay guys, My name is Josh Mclean and I am the creator of Kingsfoil Fingerboards. I been in the scene for years and years now but my contribution to the fingerboard scene has somewhat been poor. 2015 is a new year for me and this new company, as I want to bring the passion and eye for detail that I put into every deck I make, into the fingerboard community! I have been making decks for around 2 years now, and I feel that every board I make is getting better and better. My knowledge in the wood working industry as a qualified cabinet maker, and love for skateboarding is what brought me into the fingerboard making scene in the first place. However..... the age I am at (26 years old) and the little patience I have for kids only worrying about getting sponsored or giving them free decks has well, lets just say lost my love for producing fingerboard products. I still know there is genuine kids out there that have as much passion for fingerboarding as I have for making them, but its only a minority. Like is said 2015 is a new year for me and this company, and coming from Australia, me and a good buddy of mine creator of Neztek fingerboards have been talking heaps, and he has recreated my love for the scene. I would really love to see fingerboarding in Australia be as big as it is in Germany and the states one day and it is my mission to give it everything I got! My love for the scene is back and im hungry to show the world the love, sweat, and saw fingers I have put into every single one of my boards. As a qualified cabinet maker, obstacles are a walk in the park for me, so im sure there are a lot of aussies out there looking forward to not paying ridiculous shipping amounts! I really hope everything I have gone through makes sense and I don't sound like a jerk. I am I really genuine person looking to meet new people, and contributing back to the community! I look forward to meeting each and everyone of you and hearing some feedback! cheers Josh from Kingsfoil Fingerboards instagram____ kingsfoil_fingerboards |

| Hey! Your decks look great and I am so excited by the idea that you can make obstacles and not have to pay an arm and a leg in order to get it it to Perth!
I wish you good luck in your endeavors and I share Tue same dream of Fingerboarding being as big as in Germany and the US. |

| Looking good man! Always nice to see some new quality stuff pop up rather than some kids first attempt at making decks. |

| That lion one is awesome!!! Would be the sickest sticker! Also what would be the price, im a kid so i really dont have much money to buy decks since im trying to start up my company. I would say these decks at the top price would be around 35$ But i think if you wont the maximum amount of sales i would say 15-20$ becouse some of us just dont got 45 dollars to drop on a berlinwood, lol. Also you haft to add in the prices of the wood that takes to make one deck + gloss+sanding materiel+ drilling+ the time your spending making these decks. So a minimum wage worker at a fast food restaurant at max makes 8-9$ an hour. so if you taking 5+ hours on one deck you gotta think how much work your putting in and how much money you earning (:Hope this helped |
