Actually, we've been manufacturing the Surf Skate for several years. They were originally made of wood and were sold as Trick Boardz. We've been working on converting to fiberglass production for a couple of years; it has proven more challenging than I initially expected. I've been riding one of our glass boards for a couple of years. We switched names from Trick Boardz to asylum once we began production of the glass boards. The video links from our website show the wood Trick Boardz. We will work on new asylum videos this fall. Fortunately/unfortunately, FAE sales have kept us too busy to have time to expand the asylum line.
We have been riding the asylum Mojo Grande as well and expect to have it in production within a couple more weeks. The asylum Surf Skate large weighs 3 pounds; I am riding a prototype Surf Skate medium that weighs about 2 pounds (39" long). Due to our patented design they are very "efficient" and very quick. Our large is smaller than most everyone else’s small. We recommend that you begin riding the Surf Skate with fins though we’ve had riders go finless their first day. The typical comment is they can’t believe how stable the board is finless. We’ve also had beginners start on the Mojo but end up on the Surf Skate their first day out.
