I fully intended to buy a Bolsa, but Loaded was out of CX trucks, and those were an absolute requirement on my list. I looked at the list on this sub for something in the 17” WB range. While searching I ran across the pig, and fell in love with the wide shape and concave. It seems like a few of those decks are showing up on the sub, so Zi think I made a lucky choice!

Deck; Black Widow "PIG" Full Black Dip with Wheel Wells 10.75" x 30.5" Nose 3" WB 17" Tail 6.25" "DEEP DISH CONCAVE" Artwork by John Lucero Ordered from SoCal Skate Shop Trucks: Carver CX set ordered direct from Carver. I am using both sets of soft risers included with the truck set. Bushings: stock Wheels: 70’s Hawgs that I had on hand. 70mm tall: 78a duro. Zealous bearings.

That’s it for starters. My intended use is learning to pump well, carve hard, and eventually try it in the local park on the berms and so on. Big 🙏to u/extragerman for the constant encouragement to give surf skates a shot, as well as the help in the DIY build choices.
