After a long summer my edit for the NorCal Convergence is finally complete. Thanks to Keaton and Kyle, Integrity, Chris Barcellos, Scott Alexander, Austin Watts at Liquid Playground, and everyone else who was there. Had a great time. Can’t wait to go back.

Clint Tompkins has officially stepped into the world of wakeskate manufacturing with a new line of decks and a website to match. Signature Wakeskates prides itself on hand-made quality and state-of-the-art shapes and materials:
During my wakeskate career I’ve worked with several companies and experimented and discovered some very cool technology. I’ve taken that and added some of my own ideas to to come up with my boards today. I use a special blend of vertical laminated wood for the core which last longer, flexes better, and has more response than your old school method of just stacking veneers together, then digging the middle out for concave. I use the best materials that I can find like epoxies instead of glues and special fiber glass. It might not be the most cost efficient but it makes the best end product. Each core is completely enclosed in a a PBT plastic skin and sealed with top and bottom black ABS side wall. This gives you “the best of both worlds:” the feel and response of wood, but the longevity of a composite. – Signature Company owner and founder Clint Tompkins
Best of luck Clint!
