Here is the new Prototype...

Post by Martin Drayton » Wed Dec 05, 2007 3:56 am

Well, the previous Gecko Street/Slalom model weighed in at a chubby 650 grams (32.5" long). We just weighed the new deck...550 grams. This is NOT the 'new' construction, just our normal deal!
The board is superlight, strong and torsionally stiff, which all equates to lightning quick response and a willingness to accelerate with ease.

Dimensions: 30" long, 8.75" at the widest part, 7.75" at the waist and a nice fat 8" at the tail. The board is drilled at 18 & 19" wheelbases to cope with the nastiest tight courses on both sides of the Atlantic.
Currently this stealth-looking carbon fibre beauty is shod with black GOG's and looks pretty tasty.
Photos will be posted in the next few days...

Love and kisses,

House of Gecko.

Nice board Carsten, but aren't you kinda highjacking this guys thread by posting another company's product? Isn't that an Internet 'no-no'? :( I'd be pissed!
Maybe you guys are mates and he doesn't mind, but even so....

Spike.
FUN-is the bottom line!
