No, those things are dork-tastic as hell. I built my own pole based on some of the findings of the Silverfish guys. It cost me like $25.

I ride a Pin Bamboo.

Kahuna's boards are like, amazingly shit. The trucks are loose, the bearings are crap, the wheels aren't round and the board itself is like a 2x4. They're really crappy and uber-expensive for what you get. Arbor costs, like, a lot but they're made in San Diego, their headquarters is a short bike ride away in Venice and they're about the most eco-conscious skate/snow company out there.

I see you went with the bamboo top instead of the GT. Do you find you would prefer some grip tape or it doesn't really matter?

Naah. It's all ground glass'n'shit. Nice'n'sticky.
